I was immediately drawn to Gliffy.com. I glanced at the
other sites to do the task and found that mindmeister.com was also a nice site
to use. However easy these sites are easy to use and offer an ultimate amount
of uses it is going to take some work to get use to using them. I found that
Gliffy.com had an array of items to create over and above this assignment that
could come in handy for other projects a teacher might have for themselves or
the students. These however seem to be tools that take some work to learn all
that is available and make work for a teacher’s advantage and ease.
I have seen teachers draw mind maps and flowcharts out on
Power Point, Word, and on projectors or smart boards, but I think the
advantages of using the technology are wonderful. These sites offer more than
just giving an example or creating a teaching lesson, but providing the students
with a more in depth learning opportunity. A teacher could create and customize
a mind map or flowchart specifically for a lesson and have it in the classroom
when needed.
