Critiques for Teacher Web
Critique of Becca Polak’s Teacher Web
Good Things
· Web Resource page is filled with related links to a History of Social Studies sites will be
very useful to students. The explanations for each site are very helpful in guiding what
the student could use the site for.
· The calendar page is filled with upcoming assignments and exams. This will help students
be better prepared when they know ahead of time when the test and assignments are
scheduled.
· I like the page linking to an email. Having this link allows students to contact their teacher
if they have a question about an assignment.
Suggestions
· The web resource page is filled with great links, but there are only 14 and there are
supposed to be 15.
· On the announcement page maybe make an instruction for students to check back every
day or week for new announcements.
· On the class handout page give instructions on what to do on with the handouts, when you
need to complete them or have them read by.

the student could use the site for.
· I like that there is a link to your email so that students can connect you at anytime.
· I like the schedule page so that students will know where you are at through out the day
and when you have free time to talk with the students.
Suggestions
· On the announcement page maybe make an instruction for students to check back every
day or week for new announcements.
· On the class handout page give instructions on what to do on with the handouts, when you
need to complete them or have them read by.
· You have a lot of different pages, maybe combing some of them would make it easier to
navigate and look less cluttered. For example putting all of the web links on one page or
the announcements and newsflash.

Concept Mapping Software

Concept Mapping Software
1. With the topic of Japanese-American Internment during WWII the use of concept mapping software will be very useful. With concept mapping software students will be more engaged visually with pictures and key concepts. With the concept mapping organization students will be able to see the connection on the topic of Japanese Internment between the government actions and social effects. Another way that this software would be engaging is to have students create their own concept map, using pictures and key concept words.
2. Students could use the concept mapping software as a way of assessment. Once you do the lesson in the class as a way to ensure student understanding have the students create their own concept map. This allows for students to demonstrate their understanding of the topic.

Concept Mapping Summary

Concept Mapping Software
October 1, 2007
Inspiration is a tool used to help students link concepts together for better understanding. Using this software rather then making these maps by hand will be more useful for students today who are use to doing things on the computer. Using the mapping techniques to link concepts will provide students a better understanding and possibly help student become more engaged in the topic. Three ways that I found interesting this software could be used in the classroom are to help students visualize ideas, improve writing, and plan and organize project.
Visual learners especially will benefit from this type of learning. Students will be able to see the connection between different concepts and are able to understand them better. Students will also improve their writing. According to the inspiration web site, students will be improving their writing skills by making notes and outlining their ideas. A third way that this software could be used is to help student organize their ideas. This software will allow students to create and organize their own ideas so they can understand the concepts.
There are many ways that this software could be used in my future classroom. Many projects could begin using this computer program to help students visualize and organize their ideas.
