Concept Mapping

Concept Mapping with Mindomo is a great web tool for setting up a storyboard, work flow, venn diagram, or a lesson plan. I used this web tool to set up a story board. I made a general story board that you can plug in many books or stories as you see fit. I then used it to show students how to use it. I took the story Cinderella to show how simple it can be. this web tool can be taught to students over several demonstration and can be used as homework. the teacher can keep the instructions simple with the younger students and continue to build the complexity with the older students.

Using concept mapping for work flow or a lesson plan would show the students what is most important and then second and so on. The teacher can easily give importance to some tasks by giving a numerical character. Set a basic example for everyone and have them make there own storyboard or work flow etc. Time is always a problem but a web tool like this one can be used with minimal time.
