Thing 14

These tools will be useful to the student in several classes, because it allows the teacher to illustrate visually, what is needed on a project.  Students comprehend things differently, so the use of the flow charts and mind maps will allow the visual concept and clarification they might need.
I went into the Gliffy website and it was pretty good for flowcharts. 
I did not care for the Bubbl.us as  it was not easily accessible.  Although it might be okay for the student, I feel like it was difficult at first use to be able to decipher the language.  I find as a future teacher it might be a little time consuming, if you use mind maps very often.
I did however like the easy access use of mindmeister. Easy to use and work with. If a teacher is using very many mind mapping activities, this would be my first choice.  I especially like the brainstorming and to-do-list templates.
 I love lists and I will incorporate to do lists in my instruction period through power points and transparencies.
