static and dynamic mind map

I have posted my mind map at the following Link; http://www.slideshare.net/hank9/mind-map-briggs-h. I have not been able to embed my graphics in my blog yet.


I understand the differences in static and dynamic technologies and media. My mind map is the view I have. I tried some mind mapping software to create my map, however the ones I tried did not work out.
The manner in which computer technology and media are evolving the connection between static and dynamic technologies can get pretty blurry. The two technologies and media continues to grow by collaborating and sharing data. The user should be able to correlate the data at the various sites to increase their ability to obtain information that will enable them to disseminate and construct knowledge. I have not taught any online courses, however I would like to believe when I do my leaning would be closer to the dynamic side of technologies. The reason I say this is because I feel any technology or media used for knowledge acquisition is good. The dynamic side of the continuum appears to be more convenient and user friendly.

  1. Hank,
    You have a point! The line is blurred more than ever. I do agree with the old style web pages being static, for example, but it is hard to find any like that anymore. Someone has posted databases as static, but even they are more dynamic today, guessing misspelled words and including media.

  2. Nice mind map Henry, very comprehensive. I agree that the line could be blurred in some of the technologies. I feel like blogs could be both static and dynamic tools depending on how they are used.

    If you need help on embedding in your blog you might want to do a youtube video search on how to embed slideshare into blogger. There are a couple of really good demonstrations that tell you how to do it.
