Hello! I was born in California and currently live in New Jersey with a few stops in between. I am working towards an MAT in Secondary Social Studies at Montclair State University. My goal is to learn what it takes to become a successful, passionate and enthusiastic teacher for my students.

Practical Application - Lucidchart
Lucidchart is a great way to help students visualize and organize new information. Teachers can provide a template or structure for the students to fill out during the lesson or as a review. Lucidchart can be shared and collaborated between students and teachers online to help ensure everyone understands a topic or lesson.
There is a free subscription that limits access and templates. For $60 a year, customers receive all templates and documents as well as increased storage. The free subscription should prove to be plenty for a classroom situation.
This app can be very helpful to any social studies lesson. Topics and themes can often be dense and complicated. A sharable, collaborative visual representation of different lessons could prove to be hugely helpful to both the students and teacher.
Below are a few images of the features on Lucidchart...
The base or example template on Lucidchart.
There is an array of shape, format and text options to incorporate into the chart; including the ability to add photos.
Teachers and students can comment on different charts and live chat with each other.
