Gliffy is the flowchart program where you can create a step-by-step instructional or diagram to represent different aspects of decision making and much more. I didn't enjoy this program as much as the others because it seemed extremely tedious to set up.
The following mind-map was created with Bubbl.us and it is a much more friendly program. It prompts keyboard shortcuts that make creating new boxes and limbs extremely simple and easy. Once you pick a starting color, the program automatically chooses new shades for continuing limbs. It is a generally pleasing design and the faster a teacher is able to create something effective and aesthetically pleasing, the happier that teacher will stay.
These could easily be used in a classroom setting. When looking at cause and effect or just following instructions, flowcharts and mind-maps can help present information in a much more understandable way. Students are able to see the information set up in an easy to understand way.
