D. About Knowledge Mapping Teacher's Guide

• The Knowledge Mapping Teachers' Guide includes answers to questions posed in the Knowledge Mapping Exercises.
• All software and related documents that are available for downloading are included in the Knowledge Mapping Teachers' Guides. Instructors can download these materials once and distribute them to others as needed.
• As you gain skills using SemNet and knowledge mapping, you can generate your own exercises.
• A method for grading networks is suggested. In general, several rounds of ungraded feedback are desirable before grading.
• The exercises should be simplified significantly for young children. SemNet has been used with elementary children beginning as early as third grade.

We welcome your comments and suggestions for improving these Knowledge Mapping Teachers' Guides.
