Below is my concept map created using VUE. I have been using VUE as a way to organize the information that I have collected about welding. The question that I am hoping to answer is will it be possible to teach and use welding techniques to my engineering students. include component="backlinks" page="home" limit="10"

First of all, this is AMAZING! I said this in class the other day- I love your use of color coding and different shapes. It really helps me see how your project is going to shape up. Have you had experience with VUE before? I think this is a great project to use in your science and engineering classes. I can't wait to see how this changes as you work more on your project. ~Alison

This is visually educational for me. I used to be a machine shop clerk and thought I knew a little about welding....apparently not much. Is this an algorithm for welding different metals/alloys? Would the student know what metals they are working with at the outset, or use this VUE as a discovery tool? I see that you have left yourself out of this visual. If you had to put yourself in here, are you the welder? The teacher? ~Arlene

This is so neat! I love your map- it is very clear and well organized! I had no idea there was different kinds of welding- though admittedly I know absolutely nothing about welding! - Becky I have no idea what welding is about. But your map makes it really easy to understand and the different colors and shapes also make it more interesting.-ping gao

What an amazing map! Obviously this is your understanding of welding. Would you encourage your students to make their own maps which express their understanding of welding? It's interesting seeing a VUE map about a relatively specific topic. I think some of the other projects are broader. Yours demonstrates that VUE can be useful for organizing thinking that is broad OR specific. - Pat
