Concept Mapping Activity

Here's an example of a concept map I did using the French verb être (to be).  This example could be one that I would create for students as a study tool to learn the different parts of speech of a verb, but more than likely, I would use this tool to have students create these maps for themselves.  I found a lot of reward in having to think about the different parts of speech and map it out.  A variation of this concept could be for the instructor to pick a different part of speech, i.e. present tense, and have students create the present tense for multiple verbs.  I also see the potential of this tool to be used to check for student understanding.  The only downside to this is that because bubbl.us functions on the web, students would have the ability to look up verbs.  However, I could always create a blank concept map and have students fill in the blanks.  Overall, very intuitive, user-friendly tool that holds a lot of potential.
