I recently discovered Spinscape, which is a mindmapping webtool that can be used to create a graphic organizer. It has so many features wrapped into one application. Some of the features that I would find helpful in using Spinscape are the ability to insert links, widgets to post Youtube video, notes, attachments and even tasks for managing a project. Spinscape also offers numerous different views such as the classic bubbles, compact, wiki and farmland styles. The ability to put in tags also makes this a useful tool to help locate information. This definitely is a more visually appealing and more multi-functional than some of the other mindmaps that I have seen, but it is significantly more difficult to navigate and use. It exports the files in multiple formats (HTML, PDF, Word), but not in JPEG. I would really love to use this tool for my presentation, but I will probably not because of the cost. I have been using my 7 day trial membership to explore and it will be expired by the time that I do my workshop.

Previously submitted this website for consideration. The sign-in features include using your Yahoo, Google, and Facebook accounts (most middle schools students have at least 2 of these accounts) as well as the ability to embed widgets(youtube) into the mind map.

Spinscape is a graphic organizer that allows for images, hyperlinks, and collaboration. As a tool used for organizing material, it can help students focus on the important elements of the course. I believe the most important element of this tool is the potential for the effective use of collaboration among students using images and hyperlinks.

This is a collaborative mind mapping resource. It is used to work together to find and share information on any subject. It can be used in real time with users around the world to create collaborative mind maps on any topic. This site provides tutorials for users to learn about the various features that can be utilized within the program. I think this site is the best resource for mind-mapping because of the real time collaborative element and the ability to find a variety of pre-created mind maps.

Like most online tools, authorStream gives you the ability to upload your PowerPoint presentations to unique URLs for collaboration with your fellow classmates. The tool also has an option for embedding your presentations into other social networking sites. One great thing about this tool is its Free.

This is an excellent place to download and publish the power point presentations. Also you can convert it to Video without lost the Presentation features. Easy to use and very friendly.

authorSTREAM - authorSTREAM is a wonderful site that converts power points to share giving each presentation a unique URL that can be accessed via the internet. These presentations can be sent via email, or embedded in websites or blogs. After the presentation has been converted to video it can then be upload to sites such as You Tube. This site also allows presentations to be viewed live with the ability to discuss it live also. Most importantly to me, it is free.

AuthorStream allows for Power Point presentations to be imported into a web-based format continuing to include animations, audio narrations, and in-slide videos , converting them into a video. It also allows users to communicate with others to receive feedback and collaborate on ideas.
