Reflection 3

NETS-T Standard 1(a)

In order to outline a physics unit plan I wrote, I created a concept map using C-Map technology.  The concept map shows connections that an outline could never.  It is also a visual display of information, which can be easier for some people to understand.  The one drawback is that though the map is able to display many ideas and connections among these ideas, it is difficult to go into much detail in a concept map.  However, for my purposes, the map was a great tool for allowing me to write down everything I wanted to cover in a whole unit plan.  It was truly a creative process to think about how to visually lay out concepts and ideas in a way that would make sense to me later when trying to write my unit plan.  It was an exercise in organization.  I believe I covered everything I needed to, as well as some additional topics.
