Outlining+and+Mapping+Tools

media type="custom" key="8529202" Bubbl.us is an interesting online site to create graphic organizers. At first it is difficult to figure out which direction I wanted the bubbles to go, and once I created bubbles, I wasn't sure if I could move them to different "mother" bubble. Once I got the hang of it, it was an easy way to organize thoughts and details. I might use this to display my thinking to a class on a chapter, and do a think aloud of how I would create an organizer to display the important information from a chapter, as well as my own thoughts.

[|Scribble Maps] Scribble Maps is a great way to design a map specific to what you are teaching. Not only can you show locations, you can use the drawing tools to show routes of armies, etc. I will definitely use this feature when teaching the Persian Wars and the Roman Empire. media type="custom" key="8487106"
