CONCEPT MAP REFLECTION

I was very intimidated when I read the assignment description and viewed the examples for the concept mapping assignment. Once I downloaded the program, watched the video, and played around with the program I fell in love with inspiration. I would love to have this available to me when I get my own classroom one day. I love the way you can view the map in diagram mode and as an outline. This could be very useful when planning lessons. I enjoyed the project and hope I did everything that the assignment asked. I plan on using this program when planning my thematic unit for another class this summer.Click here for a link to my map.
