Thing #14

Flow charts are fun graphics to use inside the classroom and can help catch the attention of students. The flexibility of flow charts can help them be used in many different ways. Web based tools which help you create flow charts can be extremely useful, and two of my favorites to use are Bubbl.us and Flowchart.com. I found these sites to be the easiest when creating a flow chart because they were simple yet still offered several creative options, (such as color... I like lots and lots of color!) Mindmeister was interesting, and I could see how a mind map could be used with students for writing exercises and brainstorming. I will definitely keep these sites in mind when I teach.
