Diagrammr

Diagrammr is an excellent site for making a diagram/mind map by just typing text. It really is so simple, all you have to do is type in your text and watch how the diagram develops. Another feature which I really like is once your image is finished you can either change the layout or embed into your site.

This is a definite resource I can see being used in the classroom and I highly recommend giving it a look.

Lovely Charts

There are plenty of online diagramming applications, but Lovely Charts is one of the better ones to come along in a long time.

The first thing you'll notice after signing up (free, but paid to unlock everything) is the polished look/feel to it. This is one of the nicer looking online applications. Also, it is very user friendly and simple to use. Anybody who has had experience w/ Inspiration will be able to pick this up in no time.

One of my favorite features of Lovely Charts are all the different styles of diagrams you have to choose from: Flowcharts, Sitemaps, Network Diagrams, Wireframes, etc. Plus, it's very easy to save/download. I highly recommend checking this out and see no reason why it can't be used in education. The paid version unlocks all the web 2.0/collaboration features.
