The diagram that I created in Bubbl.us is a timeline of the atomic theory. I am currently teaching atom/elements in science, so I created something that might be useful. Although I liked the possibilities of Bubbl.us, I found the site difficult to use. I had a hard time connecting bubbles, moving the timeline around the page and trying to size it to the page. I think there could be easier sites to use then Bubbl.us. I would like to use this site or something similar for my presentations, and for the students to create their own visual aids or graphic organizers. We have a mac lab, and I think there is Kidspiration in the lab or something like it, that they coud use. The challenge is getting into the lab. I have used Wordle before, so I used Tagxedo, and I really liked the site and the possibilities. I used my website, http://www.frontoftherim.net/, and Tagxedo generated what is posted above. I have seen Wordl used like a word collage, and I think both sites could generate word collages related to current topics. I also teach religion and I can envision "wordling" or "tagging" the Ten Commandments or The Beatitudes.
