Alright so I decided to check out Mindmeister.com and Gliffy.com. This is just my opinion but MindMeister was just complicated for something simple. I feel like there are too many options to make your mind map "pretty" without focusing on the important thing, user friendliness. I like to think I'm fairly computer savvy and like things to make my life a little easier but at the end of my run in with MindMeister I just felt it would have been simpler to use a flow chart or a graphic organizer on MS Word or something.
As far as Gliffy.com goes it just didn't seem like something I'd use very often, however I did enjoy the fact that I did not have to create a login with my email and a new password in order to use the website. But for me just eh, not my style I guess. However, I did think it would be cool if the tools would let you create your classroom outline for our future project but it was office center and not classroom centered.
Have you tried Lucid Chart? Seemed more intuitive to me than Gliffy (haven't tried Mindmeister yet).
