I like to do a lot of writing with elementary school children, especially with upper elementary (4th and 5th grades). When writing I mainly use the "6+1 Writing Traits," and the first trait is ideas where we always do some sort of brainstorming. I use to use graphic organizers I would create using PowerPoint but these sites are great, and free.
A little hard to navigate and figure out so I would use this for the upper elementary grades. Lots of cool "bells and whistles," like a being able to add images and links to websites (I have a link with the
light bulb / idea image).

This mindmap is much easier to use but doesn't have as many cool things (like images and links). Easy enough to use with some of the younger students (2nd-3rd-4th).
A great fairly simple flow chart application. This is an organizational chart for a Jigsaw (cooperative learning strategy). This program also let you do floor plans, Venn diagrams, and other charts.
