Today was great to learn about the mind maps such as gliffy.com that I can definitely use in my science classes. It is also great that you provided us with the Elec 2.5 as I do teach electric circuits, can't wait to get home and try it out.

I will definitely use google docs and mind42.com in the future. I agree that it is very difficult for students to get together outside of school time with everything else they are involved in so any tools we can give them to be more flexible is great. In addition I am very happy I was introduced to the screencast-o-matic program. It is simple to use and I was always a bit afraid of trying screen capture before. Now, that I know how easy screen capture is I will take advantage of it to support my students learning when introducing them to programs they may be unfamiliar with.

Thanks, Tara
