The experts behind Mead® school supplies understand technology has changed the classroom. That’s why they’ve introduced Mead Map (www.meadmap.com), an innovative online application that facilitates student engagement and redefines the way students organize notes and group projects. I thought you might be interested in sharing information on the application with your colleagues and your blog readers.
Group Project Benefits
To start, the easy-to-use interface, which uses the first mind mapping system designed for students, is great for housing research and organizing information for papers and presentations. Students can instantly access and organize information from any computer with an internet connect – no downloads required. Plus, the easy-to-use interface allows for real-time collaborations and interactions – perfect for working on group projects outside of class.

Note Taking Benefits
Students can take notes that are organized and better understand the relationship between topics and supporting details through visual cues. The robust program also allows them to add attachments and links to web pages and other resources, while the share feature lets students pool knowledge and compare notes.

Additional Benefits
In addition to benefits for students, the platform also has perks for teachers who can use Mead Map to develop curriculum templates, which they can immediately share with other teachers.
The program lays a great foundation for successful organization, note taking and project management at the collegiate level.
Try It!
I encourage you to check out the application at www.meadmap.com. To experience the application, register for the free 30-day trial from the home page. We’d be happy extend it at your request.
For high school teachers, a special pilot program has been developed to encourage and evaluate classroom use. Send a request to info@meadmap.com to be considered for this program.
If you have any questions or are interested in a blog post on this front, I would be happy to connect you with the developers behind Mead Map. They’re eager to hear what you and your readers think!

Danny, I hope you'll take a look at http://www.lucidchart.com. Like Gliffy, LucidChart is a web-based, collaborative diagramming tool.
What's perhaps unique about LucidChart is that we offer free premium accounts to educators and students. This gives students the ability to collaborate in real-time on group projects, draw diagrams and experience visual learning.
