reflection or write up for the constructive tool.

Among all the constructive tool, we tried creating Camtasia video on different birds and the concept map(C-map). Concept map allows users to brainstorm and to visualize their understanding of relationships among a collection of concepts. To create C-map, first we need to select the subject. Then we are required to choose the main topic/concept to create the map, which will be the central node. Then we are required to identify subtopics that can be branched out from the central node to the second layer of node. We can go on expanding with additional layer until we reach to the end of complete and clear details of the concept. 

In my case, I chose the subject English, and selected the topic Preposition for my C-map. This tool enables the users to organize the concepts as per our requirements, draw the lines to make connection till the end, change the shape and color to represent different subtopics and to edit further. Indeed, this tool is very useful for anyone who wants to present their concept in easy way.
