Thinking Maps and graphic organizers work wonders for helping students learn to brainstorm, organize, and plan successfully. Why not use a web-based tool, where their text actually fits into the bubble they draw! Magic :) Some of these tools students can even create maps collaboratively!

Lino It create a on-line canvas where students, and you, can post sticky notes, photos, links, or videos. Great for brainstorming, or to get instant feedback. Students can choose to post anonymously.
   let's try it! click on the following link and answer the question: "What are some tech tools presented so far that you want to know more about?" TechToolsforTeachers Linoit

Wall Wisher is very similar to Lino It, another on-line bulletin board, and sooo easy to use. Try it out:PQ Teacher Talk WallWisher
Spicy Nodes are animated graphic organizers. This is a great resource to teach students how to develop an outline, that will transform into a bubble map automatically for them!

Wordle will create a really cool visual for your brainstormed ideas. Students could create a wordle that illustrates their description of a story they read by taking a list of words they write and putting them together in a eye-catching visual.


Tagxedo allows you to take the same concept of Wordle to a whole new level! 


nota Land is a cool site for collaborating with teammates. Users can click anywhere on the notebook page and add their comments. Very easy to use!

bubbl.us will create a bubble map using your ideas. You can organize your bubbles on your map by using colors, connecting arrows, and arrangement on the workspace. My students used bubbl.us to brainstorm project ideas for when our Danish visitors were coming to our school last year.

Gliffy is a great site because it will allow you to create almost any kind of map, graph, or diagram you can imagine.

Create a Graph is a very kid-friendly software program that helps students input data and will export that
