This one I love! I can use this tool for beginning a new unit as a KWL map, for summarizing a story or concept mapping in art, science, social studies, and just about any curriculum area. Rosa and I played around with the concept map together. It was great to manipulate the boxes and arrows so easily. I like the highlighting feature and being able to import a picture and being able to draw free hand. I'll use this as a whole class activity using the above ideas and for brainstorming ideas such as report writing, poetry, art, and creative writing ideas, paragraph writing, (topic sentence, details, and conclusion). What I don't like is that it may take too long for students to do their own concept map for individual or small group work. All in all, I like this tool.

Don't forget we will have wireless keyboards and mice too ... so in the full group activity the students can be the ones manipulating the images.
I love untethering myself from the keyboard and being free to move around while the students do the input.
