53. Thinking maps and graphic organisers

I use these a lot with students before they start their project on the computer. Research shows that students are more productive on computers if they have used a story board, a graphic organiser or a thinking tool to clarify  and organise their ideas before they start work.

I have a huge number of templates on my computer, however some of my favourites can be found at
Thinking maps
or
