Have not used Bubbl.us in the classroom before but am aware of the App. Still looking at how to implement the App. For me I will be looking to the group research tasks where brainstorming is necessary and everyone can have access to this. The accessibility is where it sets its apart from other mind map type programs and is a big positive. I like how you can record your thoughts on the run and have them stored securely and accessed anywhere.
We have a few units of work at our school which are wiki based filled with activities. Prezi and glogster are two activities which have already implemented for a couple of years now. Prezi I am a big fan of as i like the idea of having a blank canvas to create how you like. Definitely takes time to get students away from powerpoint though as its all they know. The lack of music being able to be embedded was a drawback for me.
Below is a link to an example of part of an assessment my students completed this year using prezi.

Glogster I have gone away from this year as had some account issues with a number of students, i guess that is the biggest issue with having to rely on students to have accounts for all these tools.
Was an informative and creative way though to showcase information.
