Mapping in class
Normally I use my tablet pc to draw out a quick map when working with students and it is projected to the front of the classroom. At the start of summer school, the hardware was not working and the instructor who was using the room before me warned me as I walked in. Because I am an idea mapper, I simply used hand drawn maps on the whiteboard to discuss a needs assessment from A to Z. The tried and true, who, what, where, why, how worked perfectly and we did not miss a beat. Moral of the lesson: Traditional hand drawn maps have many uses and this is one of them.
