Teachers work hard to make sure students understand the topics and concepts covered in a lesson. They'll often pull tricks out of their bag to get every last students' attention and understanding.
bubbl.us is one tool to try when a certain concept is resonating with every student. It makes brainstorming easy. Create bubbles to hold concepts or ideas and then link them together to really drive home how all parts work together to make the whole.
Students can use bubbl.us to make concepts maps that demonstrate understanding of all the characters in a novel, how elements relate to one another in a lab, all of the countries that contributed to a conflict or war, or steps in a complicated equation.
Teachers can take advantage of bubbl.us to outline an upcoming unit, diagram groups and how they'll work together to complete an entire class project, or illustrate this year's goals for the extracurricular group.
Administrators have an easy tool to put together components of the School Improvement Plan, coordinate teachers/groups to complete morning and afternoon duties, or showcase all of the cross-curricular lessons and projects teachers are working on throughout the school year.
