I chose Gliffy & Bubbl.us for my flowchart & mindmap because the names really caught my eye.
I found Gliffy to be a little more confusing at first, but I think the flowcharts are great worksheets for students to read along with and what not. I also thought the organizational charts were great and are such great resources for kids to follow along with and stay organzied! Much easier than trying to do those things in Word! :) The Venn Diagrams were really great because when I was in school I always had teachers who told me to just think of the similarities and differences, which was hard without a visual. These gave the visual to the kids who might need it. I loved all of the different options in Gliffy, especially the floor plan one which might have really helped when we did the floor plans of our classrooms for this class! :)
I also chose Bubbl.us for my mindmap which I think was a great tool for kids to just be able to brainstorm. I have a paper due soon that I actually used the mind map for to get my thoughts together and organzied before trying to put them into a paper. I think it'd be great for kids to just brainstorm their ideas so they can start to focus on what's important when they are writing papers. I liked being able to move the bubbles all around, which would be great so kids can see which order their paragraphs should go in & what not.
