Concept Maps

Here is my concept map from CMaps. It was a pretty good resource to use, however there were several frustrating things about it.

The program is very limited, it only allows you to do boxes connected with arrows. It was also confusing, I had to re-do several things and figure out how to move and adjust the bubbles.

You can't insert pictures or anything (at least I couldn't figure out how!)

The good things about it: it does something specific very well: brainstorming webs. You could use this to teach brainstorming itself. You can put the bubbles anywhere and any size you want with different fonts and colors.

Here is the same concept map from XMind. I liked some things about the program, but others bothered me. Overall, this is probably the one I would use because it was easy and quick and fun to have a background.

I didn't so much like the wide format that this set automatically and I couldn't figure out how to change it.

I did like changing the background , fonts, sizes, and not to mention it was VERY quick! One of the bonuses that comes from it putting it together for you.
