I have only used Bubble.us a couple of times. it is a great online tool for students to use when brainstorming or creating mind maps. As a class we used Bubble.us to make a mind map of word families. Next year I would like students to create their own mind maps using this tool. I think they would find it more engaging than creating a mind map on a piece of paper.
I have alsoused Glogster before. Great tool for having all the information in one spot, text, images, links and videos. Next week we will create a poster of Healthy eating. I really like how the teacher can set all students up with a Glogster account that she/he can access to see what the students have created. Being able to create an online poster will engage students who find art and drawing difficult and they will be able to use their own creativity to make a poster which displays their knowledge of a topic. Students can create their own layout and colour schemes and even embed creative videos. I really enjoyed playing with Glogster and creating my own poster.
Prezi is another tool that some of my students use. The class was intrigued watching this. I would like to investigate Prezi presentations further as I haven't used it before.
