What are your thoughts?

I recently was told that “concept mapping is obsolete”; this from a teacher in another district.  There is still a need to represent our thoughts visually.  Do you agree?

Using Wordle

Wordle ExampleThe website Wordle.net is a site that can be used for classroom project title pages, spelling words, book report facts, synonyms and antonyms, etc.  Make a “word cloud” for  yourself.  It is easy to do.  The page may be printed.  I took a screen capture shot of it and turned it into a jpeg.  Due to Java, I used Netscape as the browser of choice for this.
