Thing #14: Flowcharts and Mind Maps

For visual learners, flowcharts and mind maps are a God-send.  Using Gliffy I put together this flow chart for writing and identifying equation types for my students.  It's still a rough draft, but this type of visual could really benefit a student in learning complex material.

Also, Mind Maps can be used to connect information in a way that without a visual aide might be difficult to grasp.  Using this site I was able to recreate a map that I drew on the board when talking about ions, cations, anions, and ionic bonds and how they all interconnect.  I was able to then print and distribute the map for those students who were absent.
