Thing #14. The Flow!!!!!

I once had difficulty with flowcharts. However, after browsing through Gliffy and Bubbl.us, I was able to become more familiar with them. As I looked through the flow charts and the mind map, I seemed to get the feeling that flowcharts are better for, well, how something flows. It describes how to do something, such as baking a cake or setting up a tent. It organizes things in order or steps. Mind maps seem to search and organize different things by the relationships they have within each other. A possible example would be Drug interactions to ensure that a certain drug taken for a cold would not have a bad reaction to a medication for High Blood Pressure, or something similar to that. A good way I could use this in a classroom would be to possibly make a pinata or a dish for a Spanish day in the classroom and to use a flowchart. For a mind map we could find different word relationships in the Spanish language.
