Flow/Mind: Thing Fourteen

For Thing Fourteen, we are asked to explore different flowchart and mind map web tools and decide how we can use these tools in different ways and areas.
I created an account with bubbl.us|brainstorm and mind maps. I started creating a small flowchart for my term paper in History 1220. It was very cool to have my brainstorming in a neat order. Especially for me to go back and look at to see what else I have to consider. 
The difference between the mind maps and flowcharts is that flowcharts have the more simple way of organizing information and brainstorming whereas mind maps seem have a more modern style or organizing your information. Mind maps have many different points drawing off the one main idea or focus of the subject. However, flowcharts begin with the focus and draw off different sub points and ideas from the main focus. 
Either tool one may use, flowcharts and mind maps are a great way of organizing information for not only a teacher but at student as well. These charts help to draw attention to the main areas at which a child should be looking upon in whatever subject area a teacher may be teaching that day.
Flowcharts and mind maps are a great web tool!
