Just click on 'create' and it shows you the options for each page or 'mod'. Select your cover mod, and drag it to the cover page. Then you can look at the other options on writing guide: lines, charts/tables, slide (which I think would be great for graphic organizers...it has a small spot for a sketch or word/term, then the rest of that page is lines), music staff/lines. There are also options for calendars or organizers, if you'd want to use it for that purpose. Finally, there is a Reference option, where you could make a reference page for formulas or conversion charts. Whatever you want, you just drag it to the right side of the screen for each of the 8 pages.
Then, click print.
There are also instructions on how to cut/fold it into the neat little 8 page booklet for the kids to use.

Splat Square 100
http://www.primarygames.co.uk/pg2/splat/splatre100.html
Splat Square is a 100 grid that starts out blank. There are different ’splat’ colors on the right side of the screen. Choose a color and then click on the square, ’splat’, the number is revealed with a splatter of colored paint.
Teach students to count by 2, 5, 10, etc. by ’splatting’ those spaces as you count aloud as a class. Teach students the difference between odd and even numbers by color coding the 100 grid, prime numbers, skip counting, and ordinal counting can also be practiced with Splat Square.
