Concept Mapping

I really enjoyed the concept mapping exercise. The inspiration software seems to be very user friendly. Like most assignments, deciding on a topic became the hardest part. I did my concept maps on a money lesson for first graders. I work in a first grade classroom and understand how hard the details of money can be for the kids. I think that they would really enjoy seeing the concept map and following the links to online activities. I can see how this would be a useful tool for making a lesson plan because you can see everything right there in front of you.
