Online Concept Mapping

I am so excited; I have never learned how to do online concept maps.  I've looked at the research that shows that students creating concept maps increases their conceptual understanding of a concept, helps them identify connection among concepts and increases learning.  To learn how to create a dynamic concept map is very exciting!

So, I've created my first concept map on Inertia.  I would use it as a model for a class, where students would  be asked to create their own concept maps providing the details on the definition, history, and examples they've experienced.  Since most students have cell phones with video capabilities, I would ask that they create classroom appropriate  SAFE demonstrations of inertia (SAFE = following all traffic laws and school rules).

I am interested in the create a team feature and am going to explore that next.  If anyone wants to do that with me, respond to this blog.  I also want to explore the zooming and panning feature, which sounds similar to Prezi.

One thing that made me sad, was that the links to the youtube video and the simulation were not dynamic links once converted to the JPG file.  The Inertia video can be viewed

and the simulation can be found by clicking this basic link.  If anyone knows how to make the bubbl.us dynamic, please let me know.  Thank you!
