Last class we were talking about a very complex topic : What is a computer? At first you might think that it is very easy to reply that , but no . You can't go and just google it ,because it will take you to basic information or to answers you already know .
So we learned that there are two kinds of questions ,Convergent and Divergent .
The first ones are questions like : Who ? ,Where? , What ? or When ? . These take you to basic information to start gaining knowledge about your topic . These are simple questions and it is easy find the corresponding information .However , without them you could never be able to ask Divergent questions , because these “simple questions “ are the basis to start new reflections .
About Divergent questions : these are very important and at the same time the hardest to ask , because you need previous knowledge .So you will have to think harder to get to them ! The advantage to use them is that they are not only much more interesting that Conversion questions , but they also promote reflection and Knowledgement networks ( with previous knowledge )as well as the use of creativity to create them !
Another tool that we used in class was the mind map ,they taught us to use specific mind map-apps that were in my personal opinion very easy and fun to use !
I think that they are practical ,useful and with just one look you can see the totality of the topic !
According to the Gestalt law , the humans perceive better the whole as the sums of different parts.That means , by using mind maps you can memorise things much better and quicker .

| Thats me using a mind map to orginanice my ideas from the post you are reading right now ! |
That is why I strongly recommend you to use these new tactics to increase your academical rendition .
At first you might think that it's a bit hard ,but with practice and repetition it will become easier and easier. :D Good luck !!
