graphicorganizers

New Challenge for this week!

Many have used graphic organizers/cognative maps to teach or help students organize information. These websites are great and most are Web 2.0 where students can share with you or others!

How would you use this in a classroom? Examples: when I taught 3rd grade the on of my reading centers was to make a "map" with a vocab word in middle and have them put synonyms branching out from it. Or they would use it to tell the main idea. Also, they would make "ladders" to learn their multiplication facts.
