Hello list

Since you have had a chance to look at The Office, you may also be 
interested in  completely different project.  I have recently created 
a series of interactive graphic organizers--tools for stimulating 
thinking, organizing ideas, and brainstorming. Classroom teachers are 
familiar with such organizers since they are widely available in 
paper and pencil form. These 17 organizers run online, within your 
browser, and offer significant advantages over traditional formats. 
You can create them easily, print them, send them to others via 
email,  and save and share them with large groups. Each organizer 
also has a unique function that supplies a text interpretation of the 
organizer you are creating. Organizers as diverse as fishbone, 
timeline, organizational chart, and idea web, all can be interpreted 
while being created.

I haven't quite figured out how to make the organizers available but 
if you are interested in trying a couple you can find a Fishbone 
diagram and and Organizational Chart at 
http://www.lexiconsys.com/graphic_organizer.html. Feel free to use 
them with your students and I'd be interested in any reactions you 
might have.

mike
