On a personal level, I love the idea of using the Mappr to plot our 2-week vacation last year where we drove from Houston to Atlanta to Raleigh to Colonial Williamsburg to Jamestown to Washington, D.C. - deep breath - and then home. We took pictures of the state signs as we crossed into each state and Mappr would be great to use as the backdrop for outlining our trek!
I also love the Mosaic Maker and can see it as being helpful with mapping out stories or research projects using the big square in the middle with the smaller squares around it. The big square could be the central idea and then various parts of the story - depending on the depth of the study - could track around it. The students could use words or pictures to help them really analyze and represent the story elements.
As a graphic organizer for a research project, the various layouts of the Mosaic Maker could be utilized to keep the student on track with the research details and how they fit in with the thesis statement.
