Spicynodes - When You're Hungry for Information Mapping

My Take

This is a very fascinating website. Once students get the hang of the technical side of using the website they will find it interesting to use. The learning curve is a little steep on this one, it may take students a little longer to get used to using the website, but once they get the hang of it, it should be smooth sailing. In general, it can be difficult for students to break down larger topics into basic components. The fact that they input resembles an outline should help in this regard. This tool will give students, especially those who are visual learners, the ability to take apart main ideas and see how the parts relate to the whole and each other. I would not hesitate to use this with any level classes in my library, and plan on creating presentations for students to see how ideas and concepts relate visually.
