 * Concept Map Software (for those who want to generate webs for your TWS electronically):**

[|Bubbl.us] - (Heavily used in the edtech community w/ K-12 students - easy to use - limited formatting - esp. good for elementary, special flash effects are fun at first) [|Exploratree] (Templates) [|Freemind] (Free from Sourceforge, but requires download) [|Gliffy] - (Heavily used in the edtech community w/ K-12 students - very robust (but ugly) interface. Allows you to upload your own images, includes many libraries of images, shapes, etc.; also allows you to do floor plans) [|Mindomo] (Beautiful interface, not quite as intuitive as some of the others, but can handle attachments of multimedia, documents, etc., and produces a more professional product) [|Mindmeister] - (Doesn't appear to be as robust in features as some of these other options) [|Webspiration] - (Looks similar to Inspiration & Kidspiration - have closed beta invitations for now)

 * Examples of TWS units: **

- **Topic: Careers** - Stellar example of a TWS - beautiful formatting, solid contextual factors and objectives, helpful unit planning web, really nice variety of activities (including learning centers) - **Topic: Personal Identity & Legacy (based on the Spanish version of the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs)** - Excellent example of unit planning webs, of connecting a Spanish 1 unit to social issues (stereotyping), of using popular media in pedagogically sound ways, of scaffolding abstract discussions, and of integrating technology into assessment. Could use a stronger connection to culture. - **Topic: Travel** - Neat example of how to build oral proficiency in middle school language classes while scaffolding their ability to spontaneously negotiate meaning in the target language (in preparation for participation in Españolandia). Great assessments too. - **Topic: Healthcare in Mexico** - Good example of grounding the unit in social issues and culturally authentic materials, nice unit planning grids, good example of lesson plans and instructions

- **Topic:** Exceptional example of Design for Instruction. Also a good example of Unit Overview, Unit Planning Web, National Standards, Report of Student Learning (Whole Class), & Implications for Future Teaching

- **Topic: Food** - Good example of learning objectives, instructional decision-making, subgroup and individual, reflection and self-evaluation, insights on effective instruction, and assessments (pre-tests and rubrics)
