Honestly, I had no idea there would be any difference between a Mind Map or a Flowchart but apparently there is a large difference. This afternoon, I decided to hang out with Gliffy.com for flowcharts and MindMeister.com for Mind Maps. I had a lot of fun with both but I enjoyed MindMeister a little bit more.
I like Gliffy because it was possible to make very professional looking charts. I think that Gliffy is probably more useful in the actual classroom with study guides and even seating charts.
I liked MindMeister because of the ability to use it for so many different things. I love the idea of being able to organize my thoughts or goals and share them with my friends or other people in the MindMeister community. I also liked being able to access other maps by subject. For example, it was possible to open up the "Education" tab and access thousands of maps related to Education. Both of these sites were very easy to use and it was also possible to print your projects or save them. It is also so great that these tools are FREE!
Peace!
