I teach many subjects in my ELD classes (high school) and social studies is one of them. I use http://www.freeology.com/graphicorgs/ . As an ELD coach at my site, I try to keep teachers aware of what is out "there" to help make subject matter accessible for kids (especially the second language learners). That site went over very well:)

If you are a creative soul, go to http://bubbl.us/ . This site is free and lets you design your own graphic organizers.

If you ever used and liked INSPIRATION, there is http://mywebspiration.com/ . It is free for the moment, but will be charging in the next few months.

I have a zillion more, but don't want to overwhelm you:)

Thanks for the ideas Denise! You didn't overwhelm me at all. This is just what I am looking for. If you have any other ideas I'll take them!

Thanks
Diane

Thanks Jane!
I have used Inspiration, but haven't heard of Timeliner.
