Inspiration is probably the most well-known graphic organizer software in educational circles. However, it is not the only one by any means. There are some great online graphic organizer creation and editing sites which are worth exploring, like BubbleUs. The greatest value of these online programs is thatmost allow people to work collaboratively.
These are visual learning tools that enable users to "graphically visualize their ideas and organize their thinking. These programs are brainstorming toolsfor both teachers and students." This page and links herein suggest some ways they can be used in the classroom.
