Drag sentences into a custom-made diagram

 So far, apps like Wordwall and Learningapps.org will only allow you to drag sentences (or pictures) into pre-determined groups. But you cannot drag items into a custom-made diagram, such as a partial mindmap. 

A moment ago, I realised that Classkick can do that. In one slide, you can first upload an image of your custom-made diagram. Then click on 'Add manipulative'. You will then upload an image from your computer; you can then resize it or just clip one portion of the image. 

Continue this process until you have all the items (pictures) you need for the diagram. 

Of course, Classkick will not be able to 'mark' students' answers. Hence, one way to use this function is to do it as a teacher-fronted and teacher-led activity, engaging the whole class. If you have a smartboard, so much the better. 

Below is one such example which I have created. Students drag the 7 sentences into an incomplete mindmap.
