Venn Diagram text from the book Strategies for Differentiating Instruction by Julia L. Roberts, Ed.D. (page 91) Digital Venn Diagram created by myself on www.gliffy.com
Gliffy is a really handy tool to use in any classroom - for both the teacher and the student. I choose to create a Venn Diagram as an example of what a student could create as an in-class or homework assignment. I think students would have greater motivation and engagement while creating a diagram online, rather than filling in a boring worksheet handed out by their teacher. Another way to use this diagram creator would be to create your own worksheet - if you decide to do the "boring" paper and pencil method after all. You could also create a diagram as a class. You could lead/scaffold the creation of a Venn Diagram with your students.
There are several great image tools to drag onto the document, allowing you to create any type of diagram you please. You can also use your own images that you can upload if you'd like. It is easy to add text, change the font size, change the size of the images, etc. It is a very user friendly interface.
AUDIENCE: Teachers and students. Students could create independently by fourth grade.
PURPOSE: Create diagrams for educational or informative purpose.
USABILITY: Takes some practice, but with trial and error is very user-friendly.
