Today we will be looking at visual learning software -- Inspiration and Kidspiration. Both tools allow PreK-12 students to see a concept and its connecting themes and ideas. During class today, we will create an "All About Me" concept map. These will be turned in at the beginning of class on Wednesday.
All about me in-class project should start with a general concept, 3 topics about you and 2 examples regarding the 3 topics. The concepts should be linked together, various colors, and shapes are to be used.
For the class project, you'll create two activities for your subject area/grade level -- one for a whole group lesson and one for a small group or individual lesson. You'll need to review information about visual learning by reading the article distributed during class (learning styles) and read more about the Inspiration/Kidspiration project before getting started. The Inspiration/Kidspiration assignment will be due Monday, October 1st at the beginning of class.
