The flowchart creator I chose to use was Gliffy. It was very easy to use and simple. Flowcharts allow students to put things together by steps. If students are learning the process of something, a flowchart would be perfect for them to see the steps seperated.
The mind map creator I chose to use was Bubbl.us. I chose this specific site becuase it allows you to jump right into brainstorming your ideas and puts them in a mind map. Mind maps are just maps of a persons thoughts about a specific topic. If a student was trying to write a paper about dogs, they could write down everything that comes to mind about dogs then look at a map of their thoughts.
A project I would do with my students would be to have them use a flow chart to organize how to write a sentence. Each step of building a proper sentence would be a differnt step of the flow chart. Once a student makes it all the way through the flowchart steps, they will have created a complete sentence.
