Thing 14

The flowchart I tried was Gliffy. Before this assignment, I never really understood what a flowchart was. Now I know how easy it is to use and how fun it can be. I chose to make a floor plan when I was exploring it. I have never seen how to make a floor plan before on Word or anything like word and was surprised by how easy it was to change dimensions and where walls should go. It would be really good to use if planning on building your own house. But there are lots of other things you can do with a flowchart including website, Venn diagrams (great for comparing and contrasting lessons in the classrooms), actual flowcharts (also good for directional use on wall), and business processes. This is definitely something I will use in the classroom.

The mind map is a really good tool to use when brainstorming. It is nothing like a flowchart but I can see how helpful it can be. You start with one bubble and write what your first thought is and tab over for a new bubble and continue with your brainstorming.
