Thing #14

Other than my time in the Marines, I've never really used flow charts before. I used the flow charts during my enlistment as a means for learning how to troubleshoot and repair radios. They really are good tools to use, and could be very beneficial in school as well. I could see flow charts being utilized in math classes. I'm terrible at math, but I think if I had a chart that kind of guided me along- it would be very helpful. The mind maps are basically brainstorming tools, which could also be really nice to use in a classroom. I remember doing brainstorming activities a lot in elementary school, and this seems to be building off of that basic concept, and bringing it into today's technology filled world. I checked out both Gliffy and Bubbl.us. They were both pretty cool and easy to use. I also like the fact that you don't have to go through the whole process of setting up accounts in order to test them out- this made it easier for me to choose which ones I actually WANTED to create accounts in.
