Mind Maps are very useful tools when it comes to students' learning. Mind maps are graphic organizersGraphic organizes help students to map out a specific theme or idea. In this case, I chose to do a mind map about The Water Cycle. I had trouble with some of the websites provided, so I tried the site Mindmeister. I liked some featured of this website but not other I liked that the text was easy to type in and that you could move the text boxes to anywhere on the page. However, I wanted to import pictures and make the mind map more visually appealing. I was only able to find two pictures! I think that for a topic such as the water cycle, the more pictures that you have, the easier it is for students to remember the process. I think that the website that I used was okay, but not great. There are much better websites out there to use for creating graphic organizers. Now I just need to find them......
