• Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Gliffy could run the gamut of Bloom's Taxonomy depending on how it was utilized:  students could be given a completed organizer to help them "remember" content that was already presented in a different manner, they could "create" their own organizer and use it to "evaluate" a concept, "analyze" the elements of a concept by comparing and contrasting them, "apply" skills in doing the above activities, and show that they "understand" the concepts address by working out their own way of organizing items. 
• Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Students could experience a prepared graphical organizer at the point of "exhibits" or "demonstrations," but in having students build their own graphical organizers there is potential for "dramatic participation" and "contrived experiences" along with "direct, purposeful experiences" depending on how detailed or how deeply the organizer encounters the concept being studied.
• Integration of tool for teaching and learning:
• Gliffy is a very flexible tool for creating graphical organizers of many types, from Venn diagrams to concept maps to timelines or flowcharts. It may be used by teachers to set up an organizer that students add content into and then use to compare and contrast items, or understand their relationships. Gliffy may also be used by students to design their own organizers to explore a concept, share information about it, and then use it for their further analysis of a topic or questions within it. There are many shape options built into Gliffy that can fit the types of graphical organizers that teachers and students want to work with, including pre-drawn T-charts. It is easy to share a Gliffy creation among multiple users to collaborate on it, or share it with a teacher for grading or with students to review a completed organizer.
