Bubbl.us -Mind Map Creation (Flow Charts and Diagrams)
Bubbl.us 2.0 is a great site for creating flow charts and diagrams to aid with brainstorming and mind mapping. A couple of thoughts on how to use such a tool are sequence maps, cause and effect charts and character mapping. I also thought that this would be a great way to plan for any research project. Teachers could make an outline and give it to the students or the students could plan their own right on the site.

Bubbl.us 2.0 is free to use and it is not necessary to sign in unless you want to save your work. This is a great asset of the site due to the hassle of getting students usernames and passwords. It is very easy to use with an explanation appearing for every icon. The site is limited on bells and whistles for which I believe adds to the sites effectiveness. This allows students to focus on the information aspect of mind mapping and avoids wasted time on the “fluff”. The site is very easy to use and creates professional looking charts and diagrams.
