COMPUTER GENERATED GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
Although handwritten graphic organizers can be used, there are certain advantages to creating them on a computer. Revisions can be made without having to rewrite the entire organizer. Color, texture, and shading can be added, and a wide variety of fonts can be used. The computer generated organizer can also be mounted on a web page, or sent by email to a classmate for editing, or to a teacher for grading. | |
You can also use the graphic elements
in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint,
or other graphics programs, to
create graphic organizers.
A number of graphic organizer computer programs also exist. Inspiration is one such program, which allows you to switch back and forth from graphic to outline mode |
