ProcessOn

ProcessOn is a new free site/app designed for creating collaborative diagrams.  Upon first signing up (neat feature allows you to create your own unique URL) users will notice that the interface very similar to most online diagramming programs/apps i.e. Inspiration.  ProcessOn is very user friendly and allows users to add: shapes, bubbles, text, images, colors, etc.  Best of all ProcessOn is collaborative in nature and ideal for student's working in groups on the same project (users of Google Doc's will feel right at home).  The social networking features allows users to share, collaborate, chat, and set privacy features all in real-time which is ideal for education.  Not only is this a great tool for creating diagrams but ideal for brainstorming, mind mapping, and creating flow charts.

Simple Diagrams

Simple Diagrams is a site I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers. This is a site that offers a tool (adobe air install) for creating simple easy to use diagrams. This is ideal for brainstorming or mind mapping and can be a real asset for educators. There are lots of nice features such as adding photos, drag-n-drop interface, and ability to change background. Keep in mind there is a paid and free version.
