4. Create Relevant Products
The fourth constructivist stage will require students to create a definition of good character and a mental map of their definition by using Inspiration software. A major benefit of educational software is providing a framework to help students learn more complex tasks through a scaffolding approach. Golan et al (2001) relates that designers have used a range of design approaches to make complex tasks more visible and tractable for learners (para 2).� Students who are new to the software can use a Learning Inspiration (nd) tutorial which provides a solid review for beginners. The teacher can provide coaching, respond to email requests for assistance and offer tips to help students with construction of their mind maps.

Cognitive psychology describes this phase of the learning process as procedural knowledge because it offers students guidance on how to complete tasks. Students will be given some background information on the nature of concept maps and how they can richly represent relationships between ideas through semantic networks (Chan, 2005). Inspiration software helps individuals to operate as designers of their own work and use technology to represent knowledge relationships (Jonassen, Carr & Yeuh, 1998).
