Visual Maps
This is a great way to write down and remember important information and terms while you are reading. A visual map is in many ways similar to an outline, with less details. It is a fun way to remember information and would be a great technique to introduce to students in the classroom.
There are several ways to do a visual map. There is the traditional way, which is on a piece of paper with makers. Now with all the new technology that we as students and teachers have at our disposal we can also make visual maps online. There is a numerous amount of websites that you can use and plenty of opportunities for creativity.
I found that this video, given by Dr. Smirinova to be very helpful when learning how to draw out a visual map on paper. This particular video is posted below.

I also viewed several different websites using an online website called Cool Tools For Schools. This website had many options that could help you to create an online visual map. Below is a visual map I made using wordle. It was a lot of fun and there were many ways to be creative.
