Concept Mapping

This concept mapping helps students learn about the organization of the Federal Reserve system.  Specifically, it addresses the Board of Governors, the Federal Open Market Committee, Federal Reserve Bank, and member banks.  The intent is to insert blanks for some of the information, for example, __ members, __ directors, __ banks, __ branches.  I can also insert the lines, but ask them to label them accordingly, for example, elect, appoint, or approve.  I do not currently have an interactive exercise for this, rather a powerpoint slide that describes the organization.  This mapping concept or interactive tool will enhance the students’ learning and provide for meaningful learning as opposed to rote type learning.
