• Available to you at this site are the SemNet(c) 1.1 beta 14 knowledge mapping software and user's guide, and various related files which are used in the biology lessons. You can access these files from this page or from the Knowledge Mapping Teachers' Guides (Section D) and the Lesson SemNet pages (section G).
• We have provided some exercises (in lesson 1.4) which can be used to introduce learners to the SemNet software. These are the Kennedy Family Net, and an exercise in which students construct their own family SemNet.
• Each lesson uses SemNet in different ways.
  • Sections C and D of each lesson are knowledge mapping exercises and the related teachers' guide. Most of the lessons are built around having students use SemNet to create their own networks on the lesson topic.
  • Section H of each lesson provides a fully constructed SemNet on that lesson's subject matter. This can be used by the teacher as a guide to assessing student SemNets.
  • Section G of each lesson provides a version of the lesson SemNet for student use from the WWW. Many of the concepts on the WWW SemNets contain links to external web sites which contain illustrations of the concepts. This Web version contains all of the lesson SemNet content, but the full SemNet functionality is not available on the Web.
• See the SemNet User Guide for more details about how to use the software. The text is current in the User's Guide but some of the screen images are outdated.
• To download a SemNet, click on its name, below. The SemNet files are self-extracting archives. After downloading, you can discard the files which end in ".sea" and "sea.hqx".
