I have used both app-based and online graphic organizers before, but I hadn't used Bubbl.us. I really liked how simple it was to use. The learning curve is pretty level. Kids could pick up on how to use this pretty quickly. I also had a real reason for creating my web. I have to come up with various pros an cons to offering Eastern's Model UN class in different ways than we have traditionally done. It was nice that it automatically adjusted the color of the bubble depending on the layer of the link.
A number of teachers at Eastern are using Wordle. I just recently used it, along with Comic Life, to create an invitation for students to sign up for my History of Thought course. It was pretty easy to use and I think created a visually attractive and useful image with which to "market" what we cover in the course. We will see how the invite works it magic this week.
