    For those of you familiar with the software Inspiration, this is a web version with some of the same options. This is a mind mapping tool that helps you "capture ideas, organize information, collaborate and share your work, and create diagrams.

    This website allows you to create custom graphic organizers online, and was created by the same company that makes the popular Inspiration graphic organizer software. It is user friendly, and is better than many programs because it allows you to share your work via links, or invite members to edit your work.
  •  
    The more I use this website, the more I am impressed with what I can do. It's ability to insert hyperlinks to the bubbles in the organizers encouraged me to use it in the pre-training module of my workshop. In the general case, it can be used in all the modules. The ability to script an outline and have the software generate the organizer is convenient and time-saving.
  •  
    This site provides the ability to organize, map out and collaborate with others ideas and information. This site is free and available on public beta. Users are provide with tips and examples.
  •  
    This web version of a mind map tool can be created electronically and embedded into other presentations. User-friendly for the middle school student.
  •  
    This site will allow students organize information by building a mind map of specific content. With the mind map, students create a quick view chart or graph which, along with a transcript which will place the information in a outline for ease of studying. The lesson plan will help the student use content information to extract specific concepts to create a snapshot of how information is connected to a specific idea. This activity can be done independently and shared with classmates for input. In addition, the students will rely on their cognitive ability to develop the mind map.
  •  
    Webspiration is a Web 2.0 tool that helps you create an online web (similar to the old Inspiration). You can organize your ideas and be creative at the same time. Your Webspiration product can even be embedded in a webpage or blog. Easy to use. Familiar to those who've used Inspiration or Kidspiration in the past.
  •  
    I use Webspiration to map out ideas, organize with outlines and collaborate online with teams or colleagues. This site can be use for generative learning the organizer will give participants an overview of the main concepts and allow them to construct new knowledge. I selected this sit because it is user friendly. It also has sample organizers that you can use.
  •  
    Webspiration http://www.mywebspiration.com/ This site allows users to create a mind map using various different fonts and templates. Webspiration allows for generative learning becasue the participants would be actively involved with the creation. I like this site becasue it is free. The webs can be embedded into blogs and the webs can be worked on collaboratively in a group. I plan to use some collaborative grouping during my presentation. Participants can also view the visual in an outline form for easier construction of the web.
  •  
    Webspiration is an interactive web-based graphic organizer generator. It is a wonderful way to create graphic organizers that can also be used during presentations. It is easy to use and allows teachers to hyperlink out to other sites to help students understand concepts better. The best part about Webspiration is that it allows groups/individuals to work collaboratively and share their ideas.
  •  
    Online version of Inspiration mind-mapping software. Site is at the generative level of cognitive processing, as users can apply the tool in the creation of an endless variety of graphic organizers for any purpose. The site includes instructional tips and samples. It allows for high levels of customization or really simple, automated creation, perfect for new users.
  •  
    This tool I think is one of the best program to create concept map. Also, you can make outlines, work collaboratively and have a great help center link with a lot of features to create an amazing work.
  •  
    Webspiration is the online counterpart to Inspiration/Kidspiration software. The online interface allows users to design a wide variety of mind maps and graphic organizers. The software makes it possible for users to easily build diagrams that reflect the key components to essential and generative processing. This online resource has many advantages: free access, the ability to collaborate with other Webspiration users on the same project, online chat features to promote synchronous collaboration, an unlimited amount of storage space, and robust tools for design, editing, and sharing.
  •  
    *Mindmapping tools assist learners with connecting and organizing their learning and give instructors a view of where students may have misrpresentations. Concept maps as assessments: http://pandora.cii.wwu.edu/cii/resources/modules/concept/default.asp *Webspiration allows students to use various icons for representing their material while it seamlessly creates outlines in the background.
  •  
    It allows the students to build a framework towards independent thinking and improve their study skills. This is easier to use because it has apps to guide the student. In higher education, the students are able collaborate about their visual art.
  •  
    Webspiration is a teacher friendly site that contains a vast array of graphic organizers, diagrams, writing organizers and many others. This site is typically used in grades 5-12. With many options, students and/or teacher are able to find an organizer that suits their project or essay. This site is easy to use and is effective in assisting students in independently developing their graphic organizer. 
  •  
    Webspiration offers collaboration and graphic organizer software for classroom or professional use. Webspiration has free subscriptions available as well as subscriptions for purchase. I found it to be easy to use and share.

    This site is at the essential cognitive level, providing an overview of the terms, functions, and processes involved in using Inspiration software (or mywebspiration.com). The site, which is apparently a workshop plan, is plain-looking but effective. Functions in Inspiration are broken down into discrete links, allowing for user-controlled navigation. Each offers a very simple text tutorial, accompanied by a static or animated graphic.

    The Inspiration site's graphic organizers pages not only have several different types of graphic organizers available they also define what graphic organizers are and explains possible uses of the different graphic organizers. Although they are trying to sell software to produce some of these it is still a great resource.

    Inspiration is an excelled software program that helps you create graphic organizers. I like this program more than the others because it allows the user to save the file as a PDF or JPEG file. Many of the other resources do not allow for specialized saving.
  •  
    This website, although is the advertising for the software, has an area for teachers to sign-in. This access has training and tutorials for teachers on how to use the software and how to integrate it into the curriculum. The site provides lesson plans and ideas for teachers as well as a forum and technical support. These programs are concept-mapping or brain-storming programs designed to help students of all ages prepare and organize their thoughts for writing. The program provides both text and visual elements to assist the learner. Purchase of the software is a condition of access to the teacher support and training areas.

  •  
    Assignment, Module 3 - Mywebspiration.com is a free, web-based visual thinking tool that allows users to creatively organize and map mental connections.  One advantage of this site is it converts your mind map bubbles into an outline (and vice versa) format to assist in the writing process.  Users can add color, rapid fire links, and graphics to their work.  Also, the site provide easy-to-use templates to aid in formatting styles.  Collaboration has been made easy as it automatically saves and stores the product online.  It is a wonderful brainstorming tool.
  •  
    Webspiration is an online version of the software Inspiration. It is very simple to use to create your own graphic organizers. If could be used to create custom graphic organizers for your presentation and easily shared with the participants through Google Docs or a simple .jpg. Webspiration allows for the create to generate their own customized graphic organizer, many of the other graphic organizer websites do not allow you to customize them. This is an example of essential learning since the learner organizes their new learning in a way that is best for them, thus moving the learning into the working memory.
  •  
    Webspiration is an easy to use concept mapping resource which allows users to design and manage their own learning webs. Compared to other similar programs, this site is very similar to Inspiration, and Kidspiration, used frequently in elementary schools. Final products can be easily shared, saved and downloaded into other media such as Word documents, Google Docs, and also can be used for collaboration. Various designs allow learners to individualize their maps according to their needs.
  •  
    On this site, users are able to create graphic organizers from brainstorming sessions. Similar to other online sites, multiple users are able to collaborate on a single graphic organizer. I chose this site because of the ease of use and the collaboration options.
  •  
    This website is another example of Graphic organizers that can be used collaboratively by the instructor and learners or by learners who are working on collaborative assignments.
  •  
    What it does: Allows you to build a mind map organizer of your thoughts, plans, or ideas. Why this one: It is free. It is very intuitive and user friendly. It allows for collaboration. You can protect it so only those you authorize can change it. Learning benefits: For essential learning, it provides an outline and overview. For generative learning, it allows a learner to branch off into possibilities and extensions. It also can help the user organize their thoughts and ideas.
  •  
    In my workshop, the participants will use this site to create a graphic organizer to help them organize their notes as they navigate the workshop. The mywebspiration site is strong on active processing (Mayer, 2009) as the user must take in the material and actively process it in order to produce the synthesis of the information in the form of a mindmap.
  •  
    Webspiration is a great website that allows you to create graphic organizers. It is free, easy to use, and very useful. I like this web resource because it is easy to use and creates very nice graphic organizers.
  •  
    The Webspiration free site offers users the ability to build a mind map to organize thoughts, plans, and ideas for any subject. \nWhy this one: The mind maps help foster collaboration among teachers. The program allows the user to complete outlines associated for each organizer ensuring essential learning. The teacher is able to organize their thoughts and ideas providing the learner with additional activities associated with generative learning.\n
  •  
    This site allows you to create custom graphic organizers. There are many templates and lots of clip art to choose from. I like this site because you can upload your graphic organizer as a word document or save it to a web page that others can access.
  •  
    * Webspiration allows a teacher to create a free Webspiration classroom. The site allows users to create collaborative mind maps that lend themselves to generative learning.

    This site contains numerous links to outside sources (downloadable/web based, online interactive and pre-made) for creating graphic organizers. Links are also here for Inspiration, Kidspiration and SmartIdeas. I prefer sites that are a "one-stop" resource for the tools that I am looking to use. Since I use PowerPoint a lot in my area of work, this site also provides a link to a comprehensive list of pre-configured PowerPoint templates to create charts and diagrams.
