Digital Diagram

I'm sure many of you have been exposed to some interesting diagrams throughout your school careers. I know I have seen some pretty creative diagrams many times. I often find myself thinking, "wow, they are really good with the paint program on the computer or they know something I don't know." Turns out it was the latter. Digital diagram seems to be the tool that many teachers and businesses have been using all along. After seeing many of the diagrams, it seemed that it could be a very complicated program to use if you wanted to maintain some originality. Well, after playing around with it some, I found that it is not nearly as complicated as the final product makes it seem. In fact, Digital Diagram may be the most user friendly tool that we have worked with thus far. It is a great way to make a quick, attractive  diagram for absolutely any topic. It is set up to resemble the web diagrams that so many of us are accustomed to. The majority of the tools buttons are represented with a picture so that you know exactly what each button does. It is not meant, however, to go into great detail about a topic. The topics can be divided into many layers but there is not much elaboration on each layer. Therefore, I think it best serves as an introductory tool or a review guide tool. Either way, it can easily be used in any classroom at any level.
