Kidspiration



Kidspiration

Kidspiration can be used to create mind maps, graphic organizers and webs. Picture can be incorporated into the organizers. This piece of software can be used for many different projects from mapping out the food chain to classifying animals. There are several books on the market that have step-by-step projects for kids.

I plan on using this software when teaching first graders to make a web to help organize their ideas for writing. Putting a picture with the words will help not only the resource student but also student who are just beginning to learn to read.
