Community Review for Kidspiration Maps
My Take
As first, it took a little time for me to play with but my kids picked it up instantly! They loved the creativity! Once I got it downloaded, my kids loved it! Defiantly a new must-use app in my classroom!!!
How I Use It
I have used it most recently for character maps and book reviews! My students loved it once they get the hang of it! They enjoy making the maps individually, in pairs, and even small groups. It's great to as a teacher to see the connections they are making about books. It's a wonderful mini assessment tool for many different things!

Kidspiration Maps offers a fun and creative way to share learning!
This app is an excellent teaching tool. It offers many different ways to create a visual map for any content. Users can choose their own text box shapes and pictures, change the font, size and color for text as well as change the color and line thickness of text boxes. There is a recording option that allows the user to add audio clips to text and pictures. Once a diagram is created, then it can be changed to an outline view where more information can be added. The Super Grouper box allows users to sort objects (pictures/text boxes) which is a great skill for early elementary students. There are even ready-made templates within the app for Reading/Writing, Social Studies, Science, and Math. There are so many great features that make this app a must have for all types of learners! The possibilities for creating and learning are endless!
