Journal 6a-Inspiration/ review

I like this program very much.  It is easy to follow and a great tool for outlining projects.  I enjoyed the fact that it is so simple to change/add/delete facts. I like the fact that images can be added to demonstrate a point. Another nice feature is that you can link it to websites that are relevant to your subject matter.  When teaching, I could follow the diagram and to demonstrate or to go further into detail, I would click on the link and we could navigate the attached web site.  I would incorporate this program into many types of lessons.  I would use the tree function to dissect characters in stories or plays. I would use it to outline stories and then perhaps compare and contrast two of them based on the diagrams. I would use this tool for outlining steps in projects to be completed in an orderly fashion. It could be a great tool in history lessons!
Most definitely benefitting visual learners.  I did not need to use Atomic Learning for this program, which indicates how easy it is to use!
