I used Gliffy to create a flowchart. The interesting thing about this website is that it not only helps you make flowcharts, but a variety of different charts. This tool is useful because making charts on Microsoft Word can be extremely difficult, but Gliffy makes it a lot easier and walks you through it. Then I used bubbl.us to create my mind chart. I did not like this website, at all. Unlike Gliffy, bubbl.us is complicated to use. Gliffy helps you create what you want, but bubbl.us does not. I felt as if this website did not walk you through the process of making a mind chart.
Using flowcharts and mind charts in the classroom are great. These charts allow students to organize their thoughts and share them with their peers. Flowcharts are also helpful when students need to write papers. Mind charts were a little more complicated for me to use, but I'm sure they would be useful to some students.
