Concept Maps

This is the concept map that I created using kidspiration 2.  Kidspiration is an excellent tool for teachers to use that makes making concept maps much easier.  The concept map is also interactive and has several web links through out the different categories listed.  Because I am going to receive an endorsement in social studies I based my map on World War 2.  All of the clip art that you see on the concept map was already in kidspiration and their library is full of clip art that can be used in all subject areas.  I think that this will be a tool that I use in my classroom in the future because it is so versatile. 

NETS-T - because the concept map is interactive it fits this standard perfectly and allows for the students to develop creative thinking
