Reflection on how to use it in my own teaching: Many students often view writing essays or organizing their thoughts as a challenging endeavour. The act of transferring thoughts and ideas onto paper, or even utilizing a tool like the one provided, can substantially accelerate assignment progress. This process enables students to visually perceive the intricate connections between different concepts. By utilizing a tool such as this, students can effectively overcome the initial hurdle of transforming their ideas into completed assignments.
