I prefer <a href="https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/examples/mind_mapping_software" rel="nofollow">Lucidchart</a> because it is such a powerful tool.

Content with associations (curation is great for that), student generated content (with and without teacher guidance), & sharing and discussions (Themeefy is already inherently social). If interested we would love to get you accounts for you or teachers to use.

I handle marketing for Pinnion and would be happy to answer any questions that you or your users may have. Please feel free to leave comments here or contact me via pinnion.com.<br /><br />Also, we will be releasing our new quiz/trivia functionality today, which will allow all users to create Pinnions with correct/incorrect answers and feedback. We think this will be especially useful for educators, so hopefully it will provide increased levels of happiness!<br />Thanks.<br /><br />-Barry FuchsBarry Fuchshttp://www.pinnion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846015621297553531.post-72214082535380023442012-02-22T14:45:22.162-06:002012-02-22T14:45:22.162-06:00Search engines have taken critical thinking skills...Search engines have taken critical thinking skills out of the educational equation. I do use Google images myself a lot for art projects, but I still possess the necessary skills to discover, solve problems, and think independently. Many of my art students want to search Google for an image pertaining to our current project, copy verbatim, and turn in as their own. This is not the majority, but enough of a minority to raise concern. I am now teaching appropriate use policies with Google images in an effort to ratify the problem. Even though students miss use of Google images bothers me, I am truly disturbed by students inability to make better grades in all their classes with these types of resources available.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029287110934220181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846015621297553531.post-81368531251141990902012-02-22T12:32:12.798-06:002012-02-22T12:32:12.798-06:00With the introduction of every new technology ther...With the introduction of every new technology there are concerns about the impact on the current generation of students. Television, calculators, PCs and the Internet have all been viewed with suspicion. Now, tablets, smartphones and search engines are under review.

Is sending your students to a website to practice a skill using technology? Is is integrating? Personally, with so many tools and applications out there, I don't think of Power Point presentations as using technology, not in this time of possibility. And, to go further, I think just using the technology to create something that only the teacher and the class sees is not truly using it to the fullest extent. Using technology for the purpose of sharing what you know with others and connecting with others outside of the classroom is really what differentiates "21st Century" skills.Debra (@teacherdebra)http://www.dailytechbytes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
