GoKnow's PiCoMap
PiCoMap is a fantastic piece of software. It can act as a stand alone graphic organizer or as the central organizing hub of a hypermedia presentation. Every node created in a PiCo has the ability to hyperlink to files created in the other 6 GoKnow presentation applications. These other applications, Cells, FlingIt, FreeWrite, iKWl, Sketchy, and ViewPoint allow students to produce multimedia presentations with graphs, downloaded web pages, written reports, KWL charts, animations, and slide shows. GoKnow has produced a series of short videos that highlight the capabilities of their products. In addition to their great software, students hotsynced work is automatically downloaded to a central website where it can be viewed by teachers and parents. When I'm a teacher, and if I have software funds in my budget, the GoKnow yearly subscription will be among the first items purchased
