Flow Charts
I checked out Gliffy for flow charts, and was surprised to find that flow charts were only a very small portion of what they offer. They have several templates for Website Design, Venn Diagrams, Organizational Charts, Network Diagrams, Software Design, Business Process, and even Floor Plans! I played around with several of these options, and made a few things. I will likely use this later to make things for my classroom, or even for myself, such as the floor plan tools for my house! I definitely found this to be a great tool.
Here's my bit of playing around with just a blank start and using various tools.
Mind Maps
I chose to explore Mind Meister to make a mind map. It was pretty handy as far as easily being able to create links to outside websites, create tasks for other users to complete, and insert images. I also liked that it was easy to collaborate with other users, making it a great tool for group projects. However, I ran into issues adding new nodes and having what I had typed in a node just disappear when I clicked somewhere else. The short tutorial doesn't really explain anything about that happening, so I wasn't sure what the issue was, but it happened a few times. Below is my trial mind map.
