As I'm going over some of my old unit material, I am seeing that I have some tattered old "master copies" for some of the graphic organizers that I have no digital copies of to re-print. Furthermore, I have no real means of making cool-looking graphic organizers but what I can do with Word, PowerPoint, and Paint.

Is there a good software that is available for cheap(/free?) that is good for making a whole bunch of different types of graphic organizers? Anything cross-compatible between PC and Mac would be awesome, and anything with a mobile (iPad/iOS) version would be pretty sweet icing. Any recommendations?

LibreOffice (www.libreoffice.org) is a very popular free Microsoft-compatible office suite (it forked from OpenOffice, and the reviews I saw tended to be better) that includes both Word and PowerPoint equivalents and comes in both PC and Mac versions (don't know about mobile).

For drawing software like Paint, I'm not sure myself, but this list may give you a start:

Thanks! I'm more looking for software that's specifically-designed to (quickly) make graphic organizers, though. :)

Funny, I'd never heard the term "graphic organizer before," so I didn't actually know what you were looking for. Is his more help?

Yep! I'll see what kind of other options are available for making ones that aren't flow chart-like, but this works great! Thanks again! :)
