We all know how beneficial they are for helping students organize their thinking. However, when all students have access, sometimes it can be difficult to integrate these tried and true teaching methods.
What websites do we use to help us?
Do we use mind mapping software?
Is Google Drawings the best option?
Should I just create a table for the students to edit?

Honestly, all of these ideas work, but, in my experience, have been difficult to assess! But using Google Slides has made this process a breeze! I’ve created multiple graphic organizers in Google Slides and can share them easily with my students through Google Classroom!
Students can access the document, make edits as needed, and resubmit.
When I was using Google Drawings, I had problems with the set up. Students would click and accidentally move the boxes which messed up the format, which absolutely halts all progress until they fix it … lol!
But with Google Slides, I haven’t had that issue… and I can also easily assess by leaving students comments in the margins and by using my favorite tool ever…. DOCTOPUS! (see future post!)
I hope you find these graphic organizers helpful in your 1:1 classrooms!
Until next time!
Be sure to like and share!
