Does tool require Sign-in? Yes. Free for individuals.
==Description of Tool: SpicyNodes produces navigable concept maps that appeal to nonlinear thinkers and that encourage a deeper understanding of materials. Concept maps pave the way for students to interrelate isolated concepts by visually representing and linking nodes. Such knowledge mapping helps students to devise hypotheses more quickly in the learning process than through traditional text-based threaded discussions.==

==How does tool apply to your curricular area? (if your group contains more than one curricular area, give an example in each area): Science: this can be used various ways in the science (or any) classroom. Teachers can use to present information but more importantly students can use the technology to demonstrate organized knowledge. This could also be used as an assessment tool where students can complete concept maps.==

Where does tool fit in Digital Blooms and why? Depending on how it's used it could be anywhere from applying (teacher created) up to creating (students creating their own concept maps).

Adapted Lesson Plan: Original lesson plan link-http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/criticalthinking/6652
Modified: students will create a concept map to better understand the various organelles in eucaryotic cells. By creating their own concept maps they will be able to better apply the information they have learned in previous lessons.
