SAMPLE MAPS |

Problem Solution Map
(saved as a web page) Here is a map that I will be using with my Comp. 2 students; it explains their major paper, the Problem Solution essay. |
|
Map transferred to Word (includes the
diagram and outline) I can transfer the map to Word from inside Inspiration; here is the map from above in word. I can then go in and edit the document, as shown below. |

Problem Solution Map with explanation (Camtasia video)
Here is a flash presentation that explains the Problem Solution Map. I was able to get access to Camtasia, and some training in how to use it, thanks to my dear friend, Lavonne Vichlach, and her recent HIP Grant at Hawkeye. |
