Using Excel to Create a Concept Map

Debby and I were working on the graduate handbook yesterday - while she also had Elluminate Live open chatting with the grad students taking pathophysiology.  She has the students create concept maps for topics the students are studying in patho.  She was commenting on the impressive creativity that the students are demonstrating.  One of the apps the students use was Excel.  At first I was surprised, but then reflected on the fact the Excel has the same drawing tools found in Word and PowerPoint.  I did a little research and found a website that has a tutorial on how to use Excel to create a concept map.  The site is http://www.internet4classrooms.com/excel_concept_map.htm

  2. I recommend Creately Concept mapping Software for creating concept maps. It has a large set of concept mapping examples and templates to be used freely. You can embed on blogs and modify as you want.
