Mapping Decision Matrix 0904002________________________Software vs. tangibles

-tangibles first, because quick, and to encourage revisions (paper is cheap)-software for presentation, sharing, editing, beauty

_______________________________Training

-extensive contained warmups

-for Teacher's observation-L's need support?-L's need constraint?

-for peer commenting-look quickly at shapes only-look carefully at node content and links

Mapping typemind maps / relation maps (Novakian) / structure maps

1. Mind maps-for amassing 'thoughts'-relations only by association-for rearranging, clustering, prioritizing (software good for this)

2. Relation maps (Novakian maps)-for relating concepts in articulately related pairs-CMC debate going on now about declarative reading or not (cf. Tifi)

3. Structure maps (e.g. ISmaps)-for representation of syntactic structures at the level of

-sentence-paragraph-short technical summary articles

-not necessarily one unified map-background information may be

-a separate map-a layer (font color, sidebar, etc.)

-persuasion may be 'picture frames' or title bars or submapsConstraint1. Architectural constraint

- by size- by content

2. Rhetorical constraint-by rhetorical device limitations

3. Relational constraint-by Novakianism
