Mapping can be a very simple tool used by an individual/group to display several facts/notes, etc. in one easily readable, organized format. I used the Wordle tool and enjoyed it! I had "played" with Wordle once before, but had forgotten how easy the program is to use and know that young elementary school aged students can handle using it!
Teaching skills such as this to our students is valuable in that it allows the educator a more diverse and technological way to have students present information to a classroom, for a project,etc. Teachers are always looking for SIMPLE, innovative ways to have students participate in classroom discussions/presentations and the samples provided in our notes were all great! Students attending school in this day and age don't really have an option to not learn technology skills. These types of skills can be used in the work force, school, fun, etc. It is vital that our students are taught the most effective/productive skills in technology.
