Concept Map

         Concept mapping is a great tool to use in many subjects, but extremely useful in education. When using the map, you are getting a visual view of the information and it is displayed in a different way for learning. They are intriguing tools, because of the different styles and pictures you can use to teach the information. Kid Inspiration is an exciting way to create lessons and pictures for all ages in elementary. It has great techniques to use symbols and pictures to where it will captivate student’s attention. One of the first standards listed is to facilitate students learning, creativity and in a virtual environment. Both concept mapping and Kid Inspiration are great tools to help kids express their ideas and designs. Like I did say in my movie blog, NET-S lists: “NETS: Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.” With this standard in mind, the concept mapping is a great tool to innovate information is a creative display. Prompting children’s creativity is the most important factor in my opinion because they can discover ideas more naturally and it is fun for the students.
