What is Semantic Map or Web Note-Taking? THE CORNELL FORMAT VS. SEMANTIC MAPPING Can be used to provide an outline of the course, chapter, or lecture. Organized by main ideas and details. Can be as detailed as necessary. Sequential-- take notes as they are given by instructor or text in an orderly fashion. After class, write a summary of what you learned to clarify and reinforce learning and to assist retention. Can be used as study tool: 1.Define terms or explain concepts listed on the left side. 2.Identify the concept or term based on its definition on the right side. Can be used to provide a "big picture" of the course, chapter, or lecture. Organized by main ideas and sub-topics. Limited in how much detail you can represent. Simultaneous - you can use this method for instructors who jump around from topic to topic. After class, you will probably need to "translate" notes into a Cornell format. Can be used as a study tool -- to get a quick overview and to determine whether you need more information or need to concentrate your study on specific topics. Summary: What are the differences between the two Note-Taking Techniques? There are a couple of ways that you can take notes. The Cornell method is best when the information is given in a sequential, orderly fashion and allows for more detail. The semantic web/map method works best for instructors who skip around from topic to topic, and provides a "big picture" when you're previewing materials or getting ready to study for a test.

A map is a picture or representation of the Earth's surface, showing how things are related to each other by distance, direction, and size.

A person who creates map as a profession is called a cartographer.. Are there different types of maps? There are a variety of maps that are used through out the world.

Slide 9 Physical maps 2. Physical maps show the physical features of an area, such as mountains and rivers. They usually use colors such as blue, green and orange.

Slide 13 Location: Mecca 21250N 39490E Time Period 570 CE to 630 CE Slide 14 B.C., which stands for "Before Christ," is used to date events before the birth of Jesus. A.D. means "in the year of our Lord," and is used for dates after the birth of Jesus. This system of dating has been used for many years by Western archaeologists. Today, however, there is a growing understanding that not all archaeologists are Christians. Some archaeologists prefer to use the terms: Before the Common Era (B.C.E.) = B.C. Common Era (C.E.) = A.D. These new terms have nothing to do with Christianity. Slide 15 Muhammad or Mohammad Impact of an Individual The founder of the religion of Islam.
