Thing 14

Our 6th grade curriculum has now made it mandatory that we incorporate thinking maps into our lessons. I personally don't like the kid drawn thinking maps. They don't get them quite right. It also waste some time getting them drawn. Now that we have giffy.com, I can take them to the computer lab and let them do certain flow charts using this site. I also do a lesson in geometry where the children have to draw the floor plan of their house, this site would be beneficial to them so that they can get a better visual of what it should look like. The mind maps are a little different. You can't make different designs so I don't think I will be using it very much.
