Thing #14 flowcharts and mind maps

I liked Gliffy flowcharts and Bubbl.us the most.  I created accounts with both sites.  I would recommend both to my students and colleagues.  They were really easy to use.  The tools and features available on Gliffy are great for productivity.  I made the flowchart  of plant classification below in about 15 minutes.  It was really to add shapes, insert text and connect boxes.  This a very simple flowchart.  Gliffy has the features available to make really elaborate flowcharts.  

I also liked Bubbl.us for mind mapping.  It is really good for jotting down ideas and connecting related ones when brainstorming.  I brainstorm (or at least weigh a lot of options in my all the time) constantly so I like having a place like Bubbl.us to go a write them down and store them for later.  It is also a good place to store ideas that you have for later contemplation.  Below is a short mind map of my living situation within the next year and what I plan to do after graduating.
