This is an example of  a mind map found on the website  http://www.text2mindmap.com

Concept maps can be very useful  for students.  This map was fairly easy to create. It is an outline for a case study assignment.  The site allows one to indent subtopics in levels of branches. One can change colors of the levels and the entire map. Classes could use concept maps to show what needs to be included on a project or used for studying.  The mind map can be saved as a jpeg.

This tool is user friendly.  I think middle and high school students would find this useful. I think students could complete a mind map for studying for tests.  I would use this in a classroom. Older special education students may even enjoy creating this tool. It would b a nice assignment to be handed in before a research paper. Students could use this site to create an outline for many different assignments.

Here is a link to my glogster
Glogster is an online communication tool. It is a personal poster. This is a great tool  for students to use to learn about their classmates.

I made a chart plotting scores on the TORC-4 with  Chartgo. This student is not a real student.  There is no issue with confidentiality.  This tool was very user friendly. I think teachers could make use of this website. All grade levels could make use of this tool.  This tool could be used in RTI to increase students achievement. Students might like to see their progress in a chart.  I think I would use this tool in a case report. I think parents would be able to understand the score better. Granted these are normed scores and the raw numbers are not true depictions of actual scores.


This better shows his progress using percentile ranks
