This week we learned about building concept maps. Concept maps are designed to show relationships and connections between information. They can be used to link concepts and facts. They visually display all of these points in order to aid students with learning and understanding the information. Concept maps can show the hierarchy of information and multiple relationships of terms. Concepts maps can be built using a variety of software. For my assignment this week, I am going to use http://mywebspiration.com/ to create a concept map. In the future, I would use concept maps in my own class. I would design a concept map show the relationships between different individuals and their positions in the particular society. This would help my students to visually see these relationships instead of just hearing or reading them. For the rest of the week, we worked on uploading all of the assignments we have completed this quarter to livetext. We are going to create a portfolio to explain how each of the assignments relate to the technology standards for the course. In the future, I would use such a reflection of class assignments with standards in order to allow my students to see all of the large concepts they have learned throughout the class. It will be a nice way to end a school year and show students that they have improved. There was also a presentation of chapter 10 of the textbook this week. This chapter discussed various ways of creating things on the internet and how it can be accessed now. It also discussed how information will be shared through technology in the future.
Standards met this week:
Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
