The Web Flow Chart

Last week, three classmates and myself had to work on a flow chart that consisted of the administration in "our school" and we had to include tech. people. We used mind42 and I most definitely WOULD NOT recommend this site for teachers or anyone for that matter. It was very hard to work with and it was really hard to comprehend. If I had to rate "mind42" I would rate it at a low 2. I just did not understand it at all and it was too hard and time consuming. As a teacher, I feel like i need something that is consistent and easy to work with. Also, I feel like a project that is time consuming for me will be time consuming for my students and that is not a goal of mine as a teacher. I wouldn't try this in my teaching practice but i probably would use mindmeister or gliffy to create a flow chart. The two applications are a lot easier to use and less time consuming. =]
