Thing #14

I chose to explore gliffy and Bubble.us for the flow chart and the mind map activity. I thought gliffy was a bit complicated to use and to navigate. I prefered Bubble.us much more. I thought it was easy to use and a lot ao fun. It was a nice way to brainstorn and express ideas. I like the way the bubbles expand as you write and colors make it more fun. I think Bubble.us would a good choice for use with students in the classroom. Gliffy is good for teachers to explain rules or consequences and could be a tool for teachers to give alternatives for projects. I can see good uses for each tool in the classroom. The main difference between The flow chart and the mind map was that the flow chart was more structured and the mind map was free flowing and more creative.
