Concept Maps



This week I have been learning all about concept maps.  I have used several different thinking (mind) maps over the years, but I was not really familiar with concept maps.  The part I really like about this visual tool is that linking words or phrases are used to show the relationships that exist among the words/concepts.  I have discovered Kidspiration software.  I have spent way too much time playing around with it this week, but it's so much fun!  I plan on using this in the near future with my students.  I am using the 30-day free trial right now, but this is something that I do want to purchase for my classroom.
