Bubbl.us is a good
mind-mapping tool. I use the app
‘popplet lite’ (free) on iPad with my students or on iPad or my phone
personally. I was wondering if Bubbl.us
allowed for real-time collaboration, which would make it an extremely powerful
(and free!!) tool. I found my answer on Rebecca Buerkett’s
blog ‘The Learning Librarian’…
“I wish it [Bubbl.us] allowed real-time
collaboration (wiki-style) like MindMeister or FreeMind (Adam and Mowers 24),
rather than only one person being able to use it at a time.” http://rbuerkett.edublogs.org/2009/03/08/reflections-on-bubblus/
This at least gives me some
great leads on real-time collaborative tools.
It looks like after signing up for
MindMeister it is possible to collaborate in real-time but I’m not sure if it
is as flexible as Bubbl.us in terms of choosing the position of cells etc.
I was happily working away on
creating my glog, feeling that this was going to be a very useful classroom
tool when a box popped up saying Glogster was requesting permission to store
information on my computer!! That was
the end of Glogster! At least they asked
permission I guess.
I really enjoyed playing around with Prezi. It definitely has a better look as a
presentation tool than PowerPoint and Keynote.
