Mind Mapping

Rachel Szybnski

 

Looking for a way to inspire your lessons with technology? This session will introduce you to two programs that help students pre-write, brainstorm, concept map, and more. Inspiration (gr. 3-5) and Kidspiration (gr. K-2) have organizational templates for all curricular areas. Plan to bring a manual to guide you in creating one of the following: a story map for your next story, a word sort for phonics or vocabulary, a pre-writing template, a number story template for math, or concept maps for science or social studies.
