Assignment Name: Gliffy
Uses in the classroom: There are a variety of different ways students and teachers can use Gliffy in the classroom. Gliffy can be used to create different types of charts that can be saved, edited, printed, and shared. This student can assist students in demonstrating their understanding of the curriculum and allows for them to understand the many uses of the different kinds of charts that can be accessed. Teachers can also use this website to help create visual elements for students. Gliffy allows for students and teachers to quickly and easily drag and drop the elements needed to create a mind map.
Another way Gliffy can be beneficial is that it can help organize students thoughts when preparing to write. Students can quickly sort their thoughts into a mind map and then take their ideas and compose them on paper.
Issues to Consider: Depending on the age level of students using Gliffy I feel that older students would have a much easier time navigating through the website. Younger students are going to need more guidance to create a mind map. Students and teachers also will need access to the internet as well as the proper technology to complete a Gliffy. Each student would also have to have an email address in order to sign up to use Gliffy.
