(First Branch) Overall Learning Objectives for Screencast: Learn to use Coggle

2. We will be able to login/create an account.

3. We will be able to start a new Coggle.

4. We will be able to create a Coggle with the basic features: Main subject box and 1 to 4 branches of information.

(Second Branch) **What is it?** Coggle is a mind mapping tool that allows people to create graphic organizers.

Benefit: Coggle has a collaborative function allowing more than one person to work on a particular mind map (Coggle). This makes it great for students to work in cooperative groups while creating a Coggle to show understanding and/or depth of knowledge.

Benefit: It is a unique platform allowing people to manipulate the form to fit their thinking process and creative desires.

Benefit: : Users can insert pictures, include icons, and link websites. This allows the user to create a Coggle that fits perfectly with the topic that they have chosen.

Con: A free account for Coggle only allows the user to create 3 mind maps/graphic organizers for free. (Paid accounts are relatively inexpensive ($5 to $8 per month)

Con: Many options which allow the user to have even more creative freedom require having a paid account.
