Who would have ever thought that teachers could use outside resources besides textbooks and handbooks to create their own diagrams and mind maps? These sights are wonderful! I experimented a little bit with all four websites. I must say I prefer mind mapping over flow charts, but that's just my opinion. I also must say I found flowchart.com the hardest one to figure out. (It could have been user and not the website though ;). The mind mapping was easier and more user friendly, both websites. I also though they were prettier. Gliffy is an excellent site though. There are many more options to go with this website when creating flowcharts. You can change so much, and really make it your own.
It would be fairly easy to use in any classroom. For example, I could create my own charts for the classroom and various subjects. I could create a flow chart and leave some spaces for students to fill in the blanks, and use it as a homework assignment. I could also pull up the website in class and create charts with the students. The resources available to teachers really do allow them to reach and discover anything they would like. Web-based tools are pretty awesome.
