Thing #14

I love this! I love to organize and I LOVE flowcharts. I know I sound crazy but I love to use flowcharts when working on projects. However, I have never heard of mind maps. My favorite tool was Gliffy because I found it very easy to use. I like websites and tools that are accessible and easy to use, like Gliffy. I also explored Bubbl.us but that seemed much more difficult to figure out. I highly recommend using flowcharts and mind maps in the classroom. It is such a good way to organize students thoughts for papers and projects. It allows students to open up and explore deeper than just brainstorming out loud. When children have a flowchart in front of them they can see the process and understand the material easier. I love these tools! =]
