For the mind mapping activity I chose to use Inspiration. It is a program that has to be purchased but it allows you to download a 30 day trial. It was easy to navigatge through and I loved the features it offered. It even had mind maps already created that I could use in my classroom. The topic I choose for my mind map was making a family tree. I choose this because in our Social Studies curriculum we have the students create family trees and I think this is a great tool to use. In our school we have kidspiration, which is also a great resource.
After using Inspiration in this class I saw it advertised in the Scholastic Book Order. I have not ordered it yet but I am going to buy it with my scholastic bonus points now that I have used it in this class!
The most important thing I learned from this assignment was how easy it was to create a visually friendly mind map. This is a great tool to have when teaching a new concept.This is a great resource!
