My Reflection...
After using the program kidspiration I have learned a few things. This
concept map idea would be a great tool to aid in teaching. There are pros and
cons to this program. A pro is the option for the links and text links to
further inform students with videos and such. A huge con would be the options
for creativity are very limited. Overall, this program was okay. Another con
would be navigation through it. I thought it was a little difficult to maneuver
my way through the program. Again, very limited. If I were to further explore
kidspiration I am sure that I would better navigate through it and learn it
better. Honestly, since creativity is so limited I probably would not use this
in my classroom. I enjoy my things to look pretty. I just did not like that it
was so limited. Other than that this program can be used to teach all age
groups depending on the details one chooses to incorporate.
The NETS-T standard that I think the concept maps correlate with is number
2A. The standard is Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and
Assessments, Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate
digital tools and resources to promote students learning and creativity. This
idea of the concept map is perfect to help teach students from technology. This
program is relatively easy to navigate through. The students could even use
this program and get creative with it.
