I have discovered that it makes brainstorming easy, it stimulates thinking, allows a logical organization of ideas, it provides a visual organization of the thought process and it does look pretty on the page. This is a cool tool teachers can incorporate into any subject area with ease.
As I think of creative writing now, I imagine that teachers and students would use it for brainstorming topics,organizing words and phrases, creating links with like ideas to form paragraphs,structuring the paragraphs and then writing the story. What I think is perhaps its best feature of all, is its collaborative capability.
I believe students would love to use Webspiraton to create and share concept maps as a prewriting activity.
So lets perfect its use and demonstrate to teachers how perfect this tool is for motivating reluctant writers.

Hi Mary
ReplyDeleteI agree with you as I think Webspiration is a 'super cool'tool also as it allows the students and teachers to prepare Concept Maps quickly and it provides a range of icons for various subjects so students do not have to use circle and squares only to present information.
