Thing 14

When working on a project, I like to be organized. Flow charts and mind maps are two tools that can help you stay organized. For this post, I explored https://bubbl.us and http://flowchart.com. I created a mind map for a paper that I am going to be writing for one of my other classes. This paper includes many topics that need to be arranged in a certain order and the mind map allowed for great organization. I was able to put things in the order I need them as well as color coordinate the topics and the supporting facts. This was a great tool because I knew exactly which color meant what and I was able to move the  different bubbles around to organize them in the manner that I felt best. Although flow charts are helpful for projects, I felt a mind map was the best for a paper organization. As a teacher theses tools could come in handy when trying to teach students how to organize a paper, steps of the scientific method, and historical events, and so much more. Instead of just telling your students the steps, they will be able to have a visual in front of them to truly understand the information you are giving them.
