Concept Map based on Dexter Article

Concept map created in class using Inspiration, based on the Sarah Dexter article.

This is a concept map, created by using the application Inspiration. Inspiration is a great application to use with the middle and high school level students, while its counterpart program Kidspiration is great to use with the elementary age students. A concept map allows students to organize information in a visual way. This is highly useful for students with organizational difficulties and/or students who are visual learners. I have used the Kidspiration program with 4th grade students as they prepared for a project on Explorers. Therefore I have seen just how effective it can be in allowing students a creative (and fun) way to output their knowledge or gathered information.
