Share diagrams and mind maps online with Gliffy
December 5, 2008
What’s your classroom layout? Do you have the desks in classic row setup? U-shaped? Circle? Whichever setup you’re currently rocking, maybe you should think of switching things up a little. A change of scenery is a great way to recharge your brain and your students’ brains. Maybe even add some plants for atmosphere.
What you shouldn’t do, however, is start changing up things without planning ahead. You don’t want to end up moving all those desks and chairs only to find out that you made a poor estimate. Make a floor plan using Gliffy.
Gliffy is more than just a floor planning app; Gliffy offers up many more charts and plans to help you organize and share your thoughts. Everything I’ve written above was just to bait and hook you. It also made it relevant to the classroom and allowed me to incorporate that funny link.
While its similar to a lot of mind mapping apps out there, Gliffy outshines them by lending more attention to providing better design details to the shapes and images used in diagrams, plans and charts. Don’t believe me? Check out this example of a network diagram. It is much more engaging for the viewer, and it makes you look even more professional. -NICK YINGLING
