Graphic Organizers

While doing some research about graphic organizers, I found a website that gives templates for many different types of graphic organizers and gives permission to teachers to print them so that they can use them in the classroom. The website I found is http://www.eduplace.com/graphicorganizer/ and it provides many different graphic organizers like a spider map, tree chart, clock, venn diagram, time line, fact and opinion, and flow chart. I think that this website is a great tool for teachers because it provides so many different graphic organizers which opens up many possibilities for teachers to use them to help their students. Graphic organizers can help children in so many ways to organize their thoughts, solve a problem, or just brainstorm ideas. Another great thing about this website is that the graphic organizers are also available in Spanish. This could be helpful in teaching children another language because the children will already know what the organizers look like in English and how they are used. I think that this website is great for teachers who are looking for graphic organizers to use with their students. The graphic organizers are already set up, with a name and date line, and a little explaination on how they can be used, so the only thing the teacher will have to do is print and copy enough for the classroom.
