“Jason Farrell always told his customers that he could build anything using Flash and to prove his point he built his new home entirely out of Flash.

Graphic Organizers

“Graphic organizers are valuable instructional tools. Unlike many tools that just have one purpose, graphic organizers are flexible and endless in application. One common trait found among graphic organizers is that they show the order and completeness of a student’s thought process — strengths and weaknesses of understanding become clearly evident. Many graphic organizers show different aspects of an issue/problem — in close and also the big picture.”
