I did not set up an
account at any of those sites, but I did put an effort in discovering Gliffy
and Bubble. When it comes to Gliffy, it took some time from me to find out what
is what. I wouldn’t say it was an easy to work with tool. Only two templates
were given, and I needed time to figure if I need to delete some square or
connect them differently. I explored, however the different options for creating
a flowchart. I think this tool can be used for the middle or high school
students; they can fill out pre-created one with the steps of some procedure,
or even create their own (long division algorithm for example).
Compared
to Gliffy, Bubble was much easier to use for me, because I could start from the
blank and create as many bubbles I want. It is a great tool for brainstorming
or creating an outline, which is useful for me because I have too many papers
to write. Mind maps can be used for
organizing ideas. The difference between mind maps and flow charts for me is
that mind maps show the connection of ideas in terms of how they related, while
flow charts show the process in terms of where the ideas are going. Both of
them, mind maps and flow charts, have their own purpose.
