The software that I used was bubble.us. The software was easy to use when i was making the concept map. The hardest thing for me was figuring out how to embed and import and export the image from one place to another. I used google as a resource on how to do this. It was like a FAQs page about the program (bubble.us).It took me a little extra time to figure out how to export the image and embed the image , etc. But typing in the information was easy. And once i got the hang of it the rest was pretty easy also. I would use it again for my own use. It is a great brainstorming tool as well as a great outlining tool. It gets you to focus on one topic and is interactive because it allows you to create more bubbles for subcategories and detail.
As a teacher it is important to braninstorm and get your ideas out there on paper. The ideas must be clear and concept mapping can be used to clarify your idea making it easier for others to understand and learn from. It is also a more interactive and visual way of seeing things instead of just typing it or wrioting it out. This is allowing us to use the internet in yet another inbteractive way in order to learn how to use it and soon teach others using programs like these.
