Thing # 14

I chose to explore Mindmeister.com and Gliffy.com. I really liked using Mindmeister to create a mind map. It was fun to begin with one idea and think about what was related to it. I believe students would love using this to possibly review test material or map out ideas for a paper. To me it was a little confusing at first trying to figure out how to actually make the map, but once I had figured out the tools it was very easy. I chose to use Gliffy for my flowchart and I thought that it was very easy and straightforward to use. I do not see me using this in a classroom setting very much as what I do with students does not really lend itself to a flowchart. Although, if the opportunity does present itself, I will definitely use Gliffy in the future. I personally enjoy making mind maps over flowcharts, so I will probably use them more in classes with students.
