Thing #15

Flowcharts and Brainstorming.
I explored Gliffy.  I really like the different types of flowcharts.  For math there are Venn Diagrams that can be made that I can use to assist me in class.  I also liked that I could make apartment layouts.  This would be a great tool in a class that was studying area.  It gives just that something a little extra that could be fun.  The flowcharts are also great for making concept maps.  About 4 years ago, I made up flowcharts that showed how all the math concepts within certain main topics related to one another.  I believe activities similar to that would help students.
I also explored Mindmeister.  I thought this site was very interesting.  It would be great way to organize thoughts and determine a plan of action.  It is a great resource to use when brainstorming ideas.  It could be used in any class in that way.  I was thinking that students could use it to provide options of how to approach problems.
