Interactive Tool

This looks like it has potential for many uses in a classroom or working group. Exploratree:
Exploratree is a free web resource where you can access a library of ready-made interactive thinking guides* print them, edit them or make your own. You can share them and work on them in groups too.
The site has ready make guides to explore. Here's a good one for Information Literacy

You can customize a guide and fill it in online or print out a blank guide to work offline. If you register, you can share and save your guides. Exploratree comes from Enquiring Minds, a Microsoft-supported effort in the UK--which probably explains why some of the thinking guides are in Welsh.

Be sure to blog if you use this tool.

*Thinking guides support the thinking or working through of an issue, topic or question and help to shape, define and focus an idea and also support the planning required to investigate it further.
