Thing 14

I just finished working with the Flowchart on Gliffy. I didn't enjoy it as much as the mindmap. It was harder to understand and more difficult to maneuver. The mind map I made on bubbl.com was very easy to use and even fun. The site itself just looked friendlier, if that makes any sense at all.
In the classroom, however, I love flowcharts. When I taught English last year, I used Flowcharts quite a bit in writing. The students probably hated them, but I after using the flowcharts there a a significant improvement in their writing. The ideas were more structured and they stayed on topic throughout their work.
