[11/25] Concep Maps in the Classroom

Lesson plans and examples for using concept maps in the classroom

URL: http://www.inspiration.com/Examples/Inspiration

I found this web page on Google with keywords "concept mapping in the classroom".

This site is the official web site of a concept mapping software named "Inspiration". It is not a freeware but this site offers many useful examples and some lesson plans for using concept mapping in the classroom. There are 6 categories in this web page:
  • Language Art
  • Social Studies
  • Science
  • Math
  • Thinking and Planning
  • Multimedia/Web Site
Each category has 10-20 examples (e.g. http://www.inspiration.com/themes/inspiration/example.php) and lesson plans (e.g. http://www.inspiration.com/LessonPlan/Expository) which also consist of various subjects.

I think this is very useful resources. There are about 100 examples for concept mapping ideas so teachers can apply these diverse ideas to their own classes with not this proprietary software but any other freewares.
