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.
