The flowchart that I chose was Gliffy. This website was very fun, free, and easy to navigate. The first document I chose to use was actually the interior design project. This one reminded me that many of these websites can be used by all kinds of people, for all kinds of tasks. I played around with creating a classroom. I will say that the program we used in class was much easier than this website. The tools I used were mostly to change the color and size of each object. There was also one that I found very helpful. It is called 'lock shape'. This allowed me to set each part of the room I created, so I wouldn't accidentally drag an item. Another one that is always very useful was 'copy' and 'paste'. These two tools are the ultimate tools for anyone using a computer, for almost any reason.
The mind map that I chose was bubbl.us. This website was a very simplistic way of creating basic flow charts. I could see this being useful in a lecture style class. This could also be used in teaching younger students the concept of different ideas tying to one another. As for recreational use this would be a fun way to create a small version of a family tree. I believe that the flow charts were a little bit more complicated than the mind maps. Both of these have multiple uses, but the flow charts ultimately take the cake.
