<p>I came across <a href="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee182/afipa/alvaro-1.png">this beautiful concept map</a> by Anthony Weeks while reading the post <a href="http://www.sharpbrains.com/blog/2007/11/18/cognitive-fitness-the-future-of-work-and-concept-maps/">Cognitive Fitness, The Future of Work, and Concept Maps</a> over at SharpBrains. I think the ability to do this kind of work is an art form, really, and I totally agree with SharpBrains that &quot;Concept Maps can be [useful] to quickly visualize the key ideas in a field, and their relationships.&quot; I&#8217;d love to see this kind of grouping technique, displaying items on the map by common ideas and not linear timeline during a lecture, be used with technologies such as <a href="http://www.startupnation.com/blog/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=662">sketchcasting</a> to get across complex topics in a short amount of time. It makes me wish I had any ability to draw!</p>
