So after completing this "Thing", I was a little disgruntled. Up till this point every application that we have been asked to use for our blog has been free...until today. Now, if a resource is constantly providing you with SOMETHING it is understandable why you have to pay, but a resource that generates mind maps and flowcharts???? I was not very happy after completing this, and I know that it says to set up an account with one of each, but I am not signing up for anything that requires my credit card number for the so-called "free trial" that will charge me if I do not cancel it before a certain date.
Anyways, I did use the demos that Gliffy and mindmeister used. When I used the demo Gliffy flowchart, it was describing Lady Gaga and so I filled it in with things pertaining to The Walking Dead and zombies (surprise surprise!). I liked the way the flowchart worked and allowed you to address several different degrees of where people know about certain subjects. Also, it allowed you to go further into evidence of who or what something is so anyone in your audience can eventually understand what you are talking about. Now with the mindmeister website and using the mind maps, it was something I was familiar with working with in art classes. We were always taught that if you a good idea that there is a better one, but you have to work and search to find it. That is how mind maps works to me by being a way to find a better solution to a problem that you originally do not see, and that is where mindmeister is trying to help people.
