Concept Mapping

I enjoyed this software. Concept Mapping software's strengths are that it would benefit visual learners,and help students outline. I love seeing the visual relationships turned into a crisp outlin. I can invision young learners benefiting from that example of structuring. Also, I would use the software if I found that it signifigantly helped my visual learners. This software is fun and has obvious strengths.

The software has many capabilities but is eary enough to use that I am already fairly comfortable with it. However, I feel that many of the tasks it does can be accomplished, I admit less elegantly, with ordinary pen and ink. I am reluctant to introduce and make my students dependent on such an obscure tool, when many classrooms already use graphic organizers that are similar, just less flashy.
