Chapter 7 talks about how outlines and idea maps as an important part of a lesson plan. These can be used in a variety of different ways in the classroom. An outline, is a great way to break down most important parts of a subject or to detail the expectations for a project. An idea map is useful for showing connections between different things and makes students answer the questions. I would def. use these two tools when I am a teacher.

I encourage my students to learn idea map, outline and storyboarding skills because they are all important. These skills would help them organize their thoughts in a more neatly fashion and help them save time. These skills really make it a lot easier to compose different papers or presentations. My students will thank me when they have a job where they are required to know these skills.

In the last week we learned important things about google and how to make searches easier. I found it really interesting the different things that google can look up. And it was cool because I found out they have over 25 billion pages and they are the biggest search engine! I think this would be good in my career because it will help make things a lot easier to find and less time consuming.
