The first tool I played around with was Bubbl.us. I can definitely see this being a good classroom tool, especially for elementary school students. I can see myself asking my students to write a short story about something and using this tool to help write an outline. It would be fun and interactive and the students would also be learning something useful at the same time.
The next tool I tried out was Gliffy. I liked this site because there are different ways you can create a flowchart. There are different shapes you can use and you can increase the size to fit in the amount of information you need. I also thought the Venn Diagram tool was pretty neat as well. A lot of elementary school teachers use Venn Diagrams to help students compare and contrast different things.
Both of these different websites would come in handy as a teacher. I am very excited to play around with these sites and learn more about them so I can see where I can use them in my own college experience.
