Thing #14

I picked Gliffy for my flowhchart account. The basic package was free and it includes 5 public documents. This is a great option that allows the user to use the product and then decide if they want to purchase the better package. It was very easy to use and the drop down menus made the process simple. There were several different shapes to use in the flow chart. The site seemed a little slow when I was typing information in, but this could have just been my computer!! I then picked Mindmeister for my mind map. This was the only site listed and I was not familiar with other sites for this activity. This also offered the basic free of charge. I like the fact that it offered a tutorial video at the beginning, and it also had shortcuts information on each page. I browsed the site and found a mind map that mapped out a work of literature. This would be a great way to express ideas that could be used for a formal paper. I will try this feature on my next English essay over poetry.
