I chose to use Bubbl and Gliffy. Bubbl was very easy to use. It gave direct instructions and even allowed to maximize or minimize the viewing size. It was very easy to create a mind map using Bubbl. I created one for the word "love". This is a good exercise for younger students. They would say what they thought of when they heard the word love. Gliffy was a little more complicated, but it was still nice to use. I made one for the steps to christmas shopping either online or at the store. I liked Bubbl more because it gave better instructions on how to create the mind map.
Jennifer, I agree that using the bubble charts and other charts would be a great way to get a visual for younger students. It is nice that such a low cost solution is out there for teachers to make handouts and other learning tools.
