    Brief description of what it allows you to do and how it can be used for essential or generative learning: This site is awesome for creating mindmaps using a software that runs on multiple platforms and is adjustable when viewed. The most notable function is the collaboration function that allows the sharing or co-creating of a mindmap. This organizer can be completed by the audience member pertaining to the presentation material in a manner that makes sense to them. Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found (e.g., more effective, creates better products, easier to use, and so on): I have used this with my students and received positive feedback. I have even used it for some Walden assignments and feel it is user friendly and designed to promote collaboration.

    Bubbl.us is a mind-mapping product aimed towards literally anyone who needs help organizing their thoughts or any untidy information. This site promotes generative learning because it helps participants organize ideas for future learning. I selected this site because it makes it easy for you to quickly start planning and sorting out their ideas through the use of linked text bubbles.

    bubbl.us https://bubbl.us/ With this site the participants as well as the instructor can create a mind map. This will be a good for the generative learning becasue the participants would be actively involved in the process. I like this site becasue the mind maps are very easy to create and they are simple in design. Simplicity for the primary teachers is always a plus, because they like to use the infomation with their students as well.
  • Randy Rodgers on 17 Jan 11
     
    Simple, Flash-based site that lets users create online graphic organizers. The site is at the generative level, providing little in the way of instructional information and focusing on the application. The site is very intuitive to use, although not feature-rich. It does allow for sharing and collaboration with other users. 
  • Tabitha Edenfield on 18 Jan 11
     
    Bubbl.us - This website allows the user to create graphic organizers that can be saved on the site. The user can have up to three different GOs at t time for free. It is very simple to use and I have used it with my gifted second graders before and they picked up on it quickly. It has the option to change to colors of the "bubbles"and change the font of the text. The completed mind map can be printed or exported to another site to share with others.
  • Jon Lever on 18 Apr 11
     
    Bubbl.us is a relatively easy and free online graphic organizer. The site allows the user to create a mindmap, concept map, or other graphic organizer. The user can easily create new parent and child bubbles allow a hierarchical organization to the ideas in the concept map. The advantage of bubbl.us is that it is free.
  • Lynetta Powell on 19 Apr 11
     
    A place for graphic organizer creation with a group or by yourself.
  • Monica Loadholt on 18 Jul 11
     
    Bubbl.us allows users to create mind maps that can then be shared in documents or on the Web. It can be used before a workshop to create a blank or partially filled in graphic organizer for participants to fill in as the workshop progresses, which would help them to pay attention to the content being presented. Personally, I have found this tool easy and fun to use. In fact, I used it to create the graphic organizer for the workshop I am creating.
  • Jamie Washington on 14 Aug 11
     
    This interactive site allows users to create mindmaps and graphic organizers online that can be shared with others, saved to files, and exported to the web. This site allows users to collaborate with one another on the mind map or graphic organizer. It is fully customizable and very simple to use. The site offers a quick tutorial for users looking for guidance before they get started, but it is so easy to use that many users would not need to use the tutorial before getting started.
  • Alexandra Salas on 22 Sep 11
     
    A free user-friendly mind mapping tool.
  • Randall Case on 17 Oct 11
     
    Bubbl.us is an online graphic organizer that allows one to arrange bubbles in a manner that illustrates relationships. Although it is online, you can export your graphic, print it directly from the application, or save it for future use. As a Flash-based application, Bubbl.us is not necessarily the perfect solution for all computer users, especially Apple users. However, the application overall is quite strong and useful, either as a trainer resource for organizing content, or as a participant resource, used as a means for them to take notes or organize the information they are presented.
  • karen connell on 18 Oct 11
     
    This site allows you to create up to 3 pages for free of mind maps. The easy to use set-up uses icons to demonstrate its repetitive yet graphic portrayal of content. I have used this site for all of my concept maps at Walden. It is easy to create and export as a jpg to be uploaded onto a web page, blog or wiki. It stores the working model on the site until it is deleted by the user.
  • Carol Mortensen on 14 Apr 12
     
    Explanation: Allows users to create a graphic organizer with a web-based tool requiring no download. Easy-to-use and results are good quality. Reasoning: Since this site is web-based, it makes using it very easy and accessible to anyone regardless of their operating system. In addition, creation of the graphic organizer is straightforward and requires little support. Embeddable into websites.
  • Jessica Green on 08 Jul 12
     
    * Brief description of Web site: A free web 2.0 tool that enables users to create mind mapping and brainstorming diagrams online. The application is Flash-based so the latest Flash viewer needs to be installed. * Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found: Besides the fact that this is a free resource, this tool is easy to use. It offers a Help menu to assist users in getting started with using the tool.
  • Heather Rogers on 12 Jul 12
     
    Bubbl.us is an online site that allows you to create colorful mind maps.  It is completely free to use and extremely user friendly. The mind maps can be shared in a variety of ways and can also be used in all content areas in most grade levels. 
  • Rashida Brown on 15 Jul 12
     
    Bubbl.us is a site that allows users to create webs, or mind maps. A hierarchy is created by color-coding the bubbles on each level. The site allows collaboration, as well. Sheets can be shared with other people, who then have the ability to either view or edit the mind map, depending on the permission granted by the creator. Once completed, the mind map can be printed or exported as an image or an outline. This site can help encourage generative learning by providing a medium for learners to visualize connections between key terms and concepts. It is more user friendly that other similar sites. The ease of color coding and outline creation make it better than other sites, as well.
  • Tiffany Harrell on 15 Jul 12
     
    This website allows for the creation of mind maps with added features to create, delete, and change the color, text size, format, and location of 'bubbles'. Hyperlinks can also be added to bubbles to link to outside information. These features will be helpful to provide important information outside of the basic connections shown through the graphic organizer. It is easy to use, edit, and share for mind mapping and sharing gained knowledge throughout the workshop.
  • Jody Ranous on 15 Jul 12
     
    Bubble.us (https://bubbl.us/) is a great site to build graphic organizers in. The site allows the user to download, print, save and share them online with others. The site is easy to use and navigate which means that the user can be creating dynamic graphic organizers in little time. The site is free but does all for upgrades which allow the user more customization options. This site is better than Inspiration because it allows for the online component the user can share the graphic organizer with others and allow them the ability to manipulate or change the organizer or just view depending on the needs of the user.
  • Jeriann King on 09 Oct 12
     
    Participants will be given a Bubble graphic organizer with the agenda for the workshop. During the workshop they can refer to the agenda and add comments in the Bubble program. This program is easy to use and will also allow participants to familiarize themselves with a potential classroom tool.
  • Lisa Durff on 14 Oct 12
     
    Description: Creates mindmaps with color coding and connections, enhancing brainstorming exercises.  Why better: Mindmaps are embeddable and downloadable for sharing.
  • Christine M on 14 Oct 12
     
    A free, web-based graphic organizer. It is easy to use and share. I am using this as a way to organize the workshop and provide a visual for the teachers to have and understand the goals/timeline of the training.
  • Marie Anglin on 13 Jan 14
     
    Bubble.us is an online mind map that allows users to collaborate on brainstorming. Users can share their mindmap with others and provide access to read or edit. As content is added the mindmap takes on a new shape and cells can be color coded. Another feature of bubbl.us is for users to import work that has been saved on their computer or embed their mindmap. Bubbl.us can be used for pre-training which supports essential learning. I found this site to be more useful for collaborativebrainstorming .

    Brief Description: Teacher Tube is an educational website where educators can upload instructional material to the cyber-world. People can gain ideas, upload their videos for others, or receive teaching resources. Brief Explanation: Teacher Tube is a great website because it allows you to share information effectively and can be useful for others to review and receive your personal ideas and research.

    What it does: This has a wealth of resources to learn "how to" do a number of tasks. Why this one? In providing pre-training for certain tasks, why re-invent the wheel? Why create a new "how to use xyz" when that video probably already exists on Teachertube. Youtube is also an option, but I prefer Teachertube since it is more teacher/education oriented. Consequently, the content, flow, and logic may be more educationally sound than the general public who posts on YouTube. Learning benefit: For essential Learning, learners have a large database of short training sessions and can learn many essential basics for pre-training needs.
  • Cathy Marziali on 17 Oct 10
     
    Teacher Tube is a online sharing site that hosts video, photographs, documents and audio files that cater to an educational environment. The format is much like You Tube. Files can be easily shared/embedded on a variety of sites. Once you investigate these resources for the content and quality that you are searching, they prove to be a great way to promote essential learning. I chose this site because, like You Tube, there are some high quality videos available. Rather than reinventing the wheel, the busy educator has ready-made resources at his/her fingertips. You Tube is blocked in my school organization so Teacher Tube is a comparable resources and it is controlled for inappropriate language and controlled for inappropriate language and content.
  • Kat Crawford on 16 Apr 11
     
    This site is a great resource for teachers and students alike. It is a safe and reliable site that provides educational videos that are appropriate for students of all ages. The site is a safe alternative to Youtube but it is not as well known among the student population. I would recommend this site to teachers in my workshop to upload videos of completed dance projects. It is also a great place for students to make comments.
  • Jessica Green on 08 Jul 12
     
    * Brief description of Web site: A free tool that provides an online community for sharing instructional videos. Additionally, it is a site where teachers can post videos designed for students to view in order to learn a concept or skill. * Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found: This site is better than YouTube because it is strictly for educational purposes. Besides the fact that it is a free resources, users are able to view videos or upload videos to it.
  • Jennifer Piner on 12 Jan 14
     
    TeacherTube is a video sharing website with the same features as YouTube, but for educators. Unfortunately, in many school districts by content filtering systems, YouTube has been blocked due to some of the content that can be accessed on the site. TeacherTube allows educators and students the ability to access various educational videos, documents, blogs, groups, photos, and audio to utilize and share in the classroom while at school. Many of these educational resources can be used as pre-training materials to a workshop, such as with my workshop on storytelling; I would show a short video about what PBL means as a means to introduce participants to the concept and to explain that they will be using PBL to design their own storytelling lesson. TeacherTube is much easier to access while at school than YouTube, which is why I feel TeacherTube is a better working tool for educators to use rather than attempting to access YouTube videos.

    The link above is a great website that provides an abundance of information on creating authentic assessments for multimedia projects. The website provides links for creating rubrics on all types of multimedia projects. One can find a rubric for group projects, wikis, blogs, PowerPoints and podcasts, and PowerPoint's. One can use the rubrics to help determine various aspects in creating a multimedia project. The main page contains a quick link section to help the user easily find the needed links. Rubrics are a great way for the learner to understand the requirements of a project. A rubric falls under generative learning. Many times when a project is assigned, the student has a difficult time determining what exactly should be completed to meet all the requirements. Generative learning helps the learner make sense of the material and supports an engaging learning environment. By using a rubric on an assessment activity, the instructor ensures that the participants are actively engaged by helping them organizer the expectations and criteria.

    This site provides a PowerPoint presentation on how create the most appropriate question format for clickers. The website explains when in the lesson each type of question is most appropriate. The website provides various links that give the learner more information on each topic that pertains to incorporating student response devises in the classroom. The clickers allow for various types of question format. The instructor can choose to use true/false, multiple choice, numerical, and other various types of assessment check point tools to assess the understanding of the content. Furthermore, the website includes suggestions on using the clickers to prompt student conversation and engagement. The learner can develop a greater understanding from the instructions and information provided on this website. The PowerPoint presentation fits into Mayer's essential learning. Essential learning relates to a lack of understanding due to no previous knowledge on the given content. Several participants in the workshop may not understand which types of questions are appropriate for clickers; this PowerPoint will clarify and help pre-teach the material; thus, meeting Mayer's essential learning.

    This particular multimedia example is a video about the greenhouse effect, and its title is an engaging aspect that attracts learner by referencing a commonly known children's story. Mayer described the technology centered approach as being based in how and what technologies can be incorporated into the learning process (Mayer, 2009, pp. 10-11). It is definitely technology centered first and foremost. Throughout the video, it uses a great deal of overlaying video with static images or content so that the eye is engaged and drawn into the movement happening on screen. In this case, it meets with Mayer's assumption of dual coding in its design, in that it operates both on an auditory and visual channel (p. 64). In this case, in order for the learner to construct knowledge the auditory channel is the most important because the video images themselves really just augment the commentary, rather than presenting identical content visually. The images are stunning; there are amazing 3-D representations of earth, and video of the first atomic explosion. While these images are captivating, they don't serve as a second representation of the content itself. The learning that takes would not be considered active learning by Mayer's criteria, because there it is not structured in such a way that the learner does not have any repetitive elements to select and focus on in order to sequence the content in order to build knowledge (p. 71). Also, there is not an opportunity for the learner to integrate the visual and audio components to build knowledge, because the content is primarily in the audio while the video images are more oriented toward holding the learner's attention instead of presenting content or concept related information (p. 71).

    One type of assessment tool that can be used to archive, organize, and showcase authentic assessments is an ePortfolio. Foliospaces provides users with a space to develop a comprehensive digital portfolio. ePortfolios can be help students engage in essential and generative learning by assembling authentic products of learning and organizing them into cohesive representations of their learning. This website provides a free space for developing an ePortfolio. In addition, the website allows for the opportunity to share information with others through social networking.

    Google groups provides a wide range of robust tools that are useful for essential and generative learning. Specifically, the online presentation tool mimics PowerPoint but is capable of allowing online collaboration and sharing. The presentation promotes essential learning because users can produce presentations that help to organize content. Generative learning is also possible if users provide the presentations to learners for them to markup or develop further with their own ideas. I chose this tool because it is part of a reputable site and offers a wide variety of tools.
