Gliffy

Resource #2: Gliffy

Gliffy is a free, web-based resource that is, in general, similar to Inspiration and Kidspiration. It can be used to make graphic organizers, flowcharts, floor plans, network diagrams, and more. You can collaborate with others on the same document, so, like the best examples of wikis, users can work together to make the best possible document. Unfortunately, with the free service, you can only have five free public documents; if you want to have more, you must upgrade to a Gliffy online premium account. Because of this, it probably is not the best tool for student use; however, it could definitely be used for professional purposes by the school staff. Possible examples are sample floor plans for new spaces in a school and flowcharts for student discipline. As I tested out the service, I created this floor plan of my library:
