Gliffy! In a Jiffy!

1. I chose to work on gliffy.com -- it's a concept mapping website!

2. Concept mapping is organizing your thoughts into web-type designs! For a person like me who always has lists of things going on in their mind this tool is amazing! You can make different diagrams with this website, I chose to make a simple web diagram! It's SO easy!

3. This website is very user friendly! I signed up in less than a minute and before I knew it my entire web was done! All that was left was to make it visually appealing! I just clicked around the site looking for icons that looked familiar, and then I realized that they were all familiar icons -- which always makes things easier! I really think this will be a useful tool for me throughout my teaching career because I alway make lists in my head, and I think this will help me organize my thoughts! Perhaps even for lesson planning in the future!

4. http://www.gliffy.com/publish/1547934/ --- here it is!

5. I found out after clicking around that if you change the colors BEFORE you choose a shape it saves a lot of time because you don't have to do it to EACH shape! I found out also that you can do floorplans on this website! SO COOL! You can also download your own pictures to use in your diagram.
