Sample:

This is a concept map that I create to express a grammar topic which is ”Understanding Sentences”. This way assists both the teacher and the student to keep the information simple, organized and complete. It is another new way of presenting the information and integrating technology in classroom instruction. It gives the teacher the option of using the computer’s strength to facilitate teaching and improve learning. Also, it gives both the student and the teacher the opportunity to be creative, so they can design the lesson in an appropriate way for them to understand.
