Thing #14

I used bubbl.us and giffy for my mindmap and flowchart. The biggest difference between the two seemed to be organization and how you can enter your information. With the giffy, I could use different kind of squares, diamonds, and triangles that meant different things besides just the typical then this breaks down to this mindmap. Also if I had thought of something that didn't quite fit the right order or train of thought, the flowchart would let me enter it and put it off to the side, whereas the mindmap all built off the last idea or entry.

I really liked working with both though because they were easy to set up. Definitely good for explaning steps in math and such because each bubble in the mindmap was closed off from any other information. That gives the student a clearer picture than just a bunch of numbers and equal signs.
