Thing # 14

For my flowchart, I chose Gliffy.  For my mind, I chose bubbl.us.  

I will try to use this tool for one of my assignments at work.  I will probably use the mind map.  I liked the layout of it much better and it was a lot easier to use than the flow chart.  It allowed easy connections to be made.  To make a new but similar bubble all you had to do was press the tab button on your keyboard.  

I would use these tools in my future classroom in several ways.  I would use them when I am presenting new ideas to students in lecture.  I would also use it in class assignments when I want the students to connect different ideas and events to one another.  They could use a mind map or flow chart to write out the evolution of economic ideology.  I would probably use a flow chart in a lecture and a mind map in an assignment.

I really enjoyed this activity.  It gave me a new way to incorporate technology into my classroom, and have my students interact with it as well.
