I was given the assignment of constructing a concept map on any topic I picked.The topic I picked was Math. The reason I chose this topic was because I love math and my math is my personal favorite subject in school. I also figured that I could get alot of subtopics from the main topic being math. Math is also very interesting topic. It has alot information that can be organized in a concept map. In doing this assignment I learned alot of things. The primary thing I learned is how to construct a concept map. This can be very helpful to me as a futue teacher. I learned easy ways to do things and helpful tips that I can use on the computer. Some of the problems I encountered was not saving my work and having to start over, not knowing all of the things I could do on the program we were working under, and having trouble with picking a good but effective topic. When I forst started this assignment, I didn't know how to work the program that we were to create our concept map with. It took a littler time to get adjusted. It also took a little time for me to figure out exactly what I was suppose to doing and get started. The program was pretty simplw if you took some time to understand the assignment fully. The good part about learnig how to do a concept map is that I can actually use it for my future classroom. It'll be easy to organized things such as grades and behaviors of the students. It will also cut down of the amount of papers I would have to kee and file. In doing this assignmment I meet NETS-T standards on and five because I used technology in order to organize and connect with others.
