Concept Maps 2.0 - Week one overview


My week one overview is displayed in a concept map created on Bubbl.us.2.0beta. Words can be easily moved, and or linked and there is an extra facility to label the connecting lines. The colours are interesting to look at and they can be used to enhance groups or classification. It is a fun and easy tool to use and I could see, that with a bit of practice, I would be able to be use it during a brainstorming session in the classroom. With some scaffolding and practice students would be able to create their own maps.
I did have an issue with downloading the finished product , getting half of my concept map, therefore before using this tool in the classroom the problem would need to be resolved. In the end I used a snipping tool to take a snap shot of the map so the image may not be as sharp as it should be.
