Mind Mapping
I used Inspiration for my weather mind map. The mind map not only reinforces the science lesson, but also enhances student's vocabulary. Grouping words in synonym groups helps student remember words by their associations. I’ve used Inspiration before in another class and found it to be user friendly. It’s colorful and you are able to easily build out your map, add pictures, and attach hyperlinks. However, I did not try the other mind mapping application, Mind42, Gliffy, and Mindmeister. I do plan to explore these applications at a later date when I have more time.
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI love your weather map! I wound up making mine in Gliffy, but I see how nicely your Inspiratio map came out that I am definitely going to try it!

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI'd really love to share your mind map with my colleagues. It's a great example of how students can demonstrate their knowledge and share their learning (Harvey & Goudvis, 2007, p. 224). May I have your permission to share your weather mind map on a teacher created webpage via Weebly?
