Concept Map Assignment: Webspiration

This concept mapping tool called Webspiration would be a great tool to use within a classroom setting. This is because in a school setting, it is sometimes difficult to present difficult and detailed lessons with your class. A concept map will help students to see the steps and the process of a certain object and will help the students to link connecting ideas to one another. I used graduation as an example of a concept map because it shows students what the steps are and what components link together to help you to graduate. The graduation hat, the main point, leads to the big clock at the top of the concept map. This shows that it takes time to perform the tasks needed in order to graduate. The other links lead to classwork, homework, and links to class and homework. Links to class and homework include a bus, a laptop, and a usb drive because all of these objects are portable and travel from the home to the classroom.  The classwork link leads to three other links: objects that relate to school social life, tools used by the teacher, and tools used by the student in order to complete classwork. The last link from the graduation hat is the homework link. This link has a backpack that is connected to an open book and a calculator, two things that apply to doing homework and studying.
