Thing 14


The difference in a flow chart and a mind map is that the flow chart is a template that is pre-made and can be filled in with information. A mind map is added to as it is filled in.
I chose Mindmeister  as the mind-mapping tool. First I tried another option, but it was not as easy to connect ideas; this one made linking bubbles easy. I like that on Mindmeister I can have several topics on one mind map. I also like that all of the formatting options are on the side. There are different options for everything, even the lines connecting the bubbles. It also helps as a study aid that there is a section to type notes about each bubble and topic. Mindmeister also has an application so that I can use it on the go.
I chose Flowchart.com as the flow-charting tool. I really enjoyed the many templates available. It also had the option of making your own template. Also, it allowed you to upload a previously made flowchart from your computer. I will use Flowchart.com when I have an idea of what kind of template or format that I should use to formulate my ideas.
