My graphic organizer is PowerPoint. Not the 'smart objects' but the shapes drawing tool. Why don't I use any of the pre-selected organizers (e.g. Problem-Solution, Fishbone, Time Order, etc.) in the tool outlined by Miguel Guhlin in this article? I like not using a form that has been used before. Forcing myself to imagine the organization is a key part of representing an idea, to me at least. If I had the skills, I do all my graphics freehand, but I'll allow the tool to at least draw nice boxes and arrows. And yes, eventually the AIs will draw images to represent concepts and ideas, and the challenge for us humans will be to see these concepts and ideas in new ways.
