Thing #14

I explored a flow chart and a mind map. I used Gliffy and bubbl.us .

After playing around with the features, I doubt I would use either for my own personal use. My mind doesn't think out concept in pictures, and I would just get frustrated trying to do so. However, these could be useful tools for class activities.

Gliffy is a good tool for students to stay organized and could be used when giving directions for an activity or doing an experiment.

Bubbl.us would be a great tool to use in front of the students for mapping out concepts and showing the relationship between items. It could also be used to map out a family tree for a family in a novel. Some students benefit from seeing relationships visually, than just being told why two things are alike.
