Thing #14

I am more familiar with flowcharts than I am with mind maps. I was able to use flowcharts.com I was very impressed with the applications that I was able to use and manipulate. As far as the mind maps, I used mindmeister.com and I think that this is something that I am going to be able to incorporate into my classroom. At my school we use a tool that is called Thinking Maps. The thinking maps that I use with my first graders are very similar to the mind maps that I was able to create on mindmeister. I think that I will try to not only teach my class the importance of thinking maps but use this site to allow them to create mind maps.

I am absolutely loving some of the things that we are learning in this class! I am sharing them with many of the teachers at my school that teach in the upper grades. I think that my school is enjoying me taking this class just about as much as I am!
