Lucidchart: Free Graphic Organizer—the Best

Blogger Brad Hanks calls Lucidchart “the best free learning tool you’ve ever heard of.” That’s quite an endorsement considering all the free tools available for students and teachers. Lucidchart, even though it is free, is, according to Hanks, supported by a for-profit company, which mean it won’t disappear after you’ve created your best work on the organizer. Hanks suggests you use it for leading discussions; for thinking, pairing, and sharing; for real time feedback on assigned tasks; for exploring concepts; for individual and group assignments; for brainstorming with mind maps; for teaching logic with Venn diagrams; for use with tablets; and for moving beyond the classroom with Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, personal sites, and more.
