Common Core Standard for Language Arts: Language Standards K-5; 5a (Sort words into categories (e.g., colors, clothing) to gain a sense of concepts the categories represent)
Lesson Idea: Categorize various animals (i.e., farm animals, house animals, wild animals). Provide children with a list of animals and as a class, using bubbl.us, put into distinctive categories. Students and teacher could further discuss that these are broad categories and could anyone provide examples of instances where certain animals could cross over into other categories.
Please see below for an example of how this concept map could look.
I did do a little more playing around and liked that you could connect various offpring bubbles using the "link" button that pops up when you scroll over the bubbles. I also liked the fact that the lines connecting each of the bubbles could be labeled, if that was something you wished to do. Overall, I found it easy to use and would highly recommend if someone is interested in creating concept maps.
