I've got a new boss these days and she's getting us to use graphic organisers and reading strategies and such things. I was sceptical at first, but now I'm a convert. Do many people use graphic organisers in class?

I use them for thinking maps, to show how concepts and ideas are related, as flow charts when necessary, as a way to show comparisons and contrasts and as a way to show umbrella terms and then related terms.

I'm definitely a convert. I now spend the first half of each lesson going through the content and the second half skills-building using graphic organisers, summarising, etc.

This could be an excellent resource for making graphic organisers. 

Go to 'For AP World History Teachers' & login using the access code 'IbnBattuta.'

Excellent resources, graphic organisers, matrices, etc for history teachers no matter what system you teach in. The Change Analysis Charts and SPRITE have transformed my teaching.

This is an interesting site which will be engaging for students, I'd imagine. Has funky graphics and colourful movement. It is organised around several themes and then students can choose a civilisation to focus on. They them look through a series of images with accompanying information. Seeings it's by the British Museum it should be good quality information.

Looks very useful for creating charts. 

This site is brilliant for any aspect of post-WWII Europe! An awesome research tool. Lots of neat pictures and graphics (Gen-Y-friendly) and high-quality primary sources and images, organised into significant topics and easy to navigate.
