http://www.gse.buffalo.edu/fas/shuell/cep564/Metacog.htm
Metacognition, one of the latest buzzwords in educational psychology, refers to higher order thinking about and active control of mental processes involved in learning.
*If you are curious about a relatively new construct of thinking about thinking, learn about metacognition. We engage in it every day of our lives, and it especially impacts our success in an academic setting. Livingston provides an overview of this metacognitive theory (Flavell) which takes into consideration factors including personal, task-oriented, and strategies chosen to undertake tasks.
Graphic Organizers -
http://www.graphic.org
The Graphic Organizer is a site that features graphic organizers to aid visual thinking, learning, and writing, including webbing, concept mapping, matrices, and flow charts. It is a useful tool for preparing presentations.
*If you ever need to choose a graphic organizer that can best provide a condensed version of information in printed/textual form, this site is for you. Some examples follow: linear string to describe sequences, Venn diagram or comparison matrix to show relationships, hierarchy diagram to develop classifications, fishbone mapping to show causal interactions.
