Tools/Cacoo

Draw better diagrams with the aid of clip-art stencils, and your peers

Tool Description Use a web browser to draw^(tool) a picture, flowchart or diagram based on a library of clip-art ‘stencils’. For example, you could use the flowchart templates to create a topic map and then share it with the rest of the class. More than a presentation tool, this also allows more than one student to work on the same diagram. A chat^(tool) window facilities this collaboration^(tool). Drawings can be exported to a file to use elsewhere or embedded in a blog page. ^(edit)

Teaching Approach. Drawing tools offer opportunity for higher order^(ta) visualisation^(ta) and collaboration^(ta), as well as stimulus for whole class^(ta) dialogue^(ta) and questioning^(ta). ^(edit)
