Thing #14 Go with the Flow

Bubbl was a great tool for me because I found it easier to use than Mindmeister. I used Bubbl to create a brief outline of one of my lesson plans. This would be great to show students as an introduction to the lesson to show them how certain skills build on one another. Also, in this particular unit plan students have to create a graphic organizer. This would be an excellent tool for them to use when designing their graphic organizers because it is very intuitive. Students can even print the organizers when they are finished! I would recommend this site to students because its free and easy to use.

I also explored Gliffy and was able to begin creating documents right away. However, the only negative thing about this site is you only get a 30-day free trial. This site is cool because it creates flowcharts, Venn diagrams, Floor plans, and other interesting diagrams. I can see why they charge you after 30 days because there is so much stuff! I think this would be a great resource for students, but there are other sites (such as Bubbl) that are free.
