Mind Mapping Flat Stanley Project




Here is a link to view my Mind Map for the Flat Stanley Project:

For the Mind mapping activity, I decided to map out my plans for the Flat Stanley Project. The mind mapping activity, gave me a better organization of what, why, where and when and how I will finish my project step by step. Mind mapping will help students who are visual learners; this type of activity will give them a better understanding of the project or how to organize their thoughts.

I learned that it takes patience and practice not only to set up your lessons but to arrange your thoughts into a diagram which will give you a better structure. This activity can be used to design lessons for students, assignments, projects, research, brainstorming…

I have used gliffy in the past and I enjoyed using it… It is user friendly (at least for me) mind-mapping tool, which is cool! You don’t need a bunch of directions to figure out how to use it… Getting a screen shot of my gliffy, gave me trouble. But, thanks to Laurence and Clare for their help—we manage to figure it out. The Jing Project is an awesome site that would be useful for future projects and assignments.
I would definitely use the gliffy again! However, I am willing to learn and use new software to work on assignments and projects.
