This week we explored concept mapping as well as learning about web quests. When using the computer in the school there are many considerations that have to be taken into account. I focused on safety, marketing, copyright issues and authenticity of the sites in my concept map. I found this was a great way to lay out the ideas, questions and concerns about using internet sites with students. This was my first experience with concept mapping but I do see how this could be a very useful tool in the classroom. In the science classroom the inspiration application would be very useful. I will just need a bit more practice so it wouldn't take quite as long to figure everything out.
