Ten Free Tools for Creating Mind Maps and Flowcharts - Updated for 2019-20 | Free Technology for Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Creating a mind map is an excellent way to generate and write down ideas connected to a central topic. I frequently use mind maps to generate ideas for blog posts and for workshop topics. Students can use them to generate ideas for creative writing, to plan presentations, and to record all of the factors contributing to a central event. Flowcharts help students see how a process works from start to finish. Here are ten free tools that students and teachers can use to create mind mind maps and flowcharts.

Tool literacy as a new process —  NeverEndingSearch

Tool literacy as a new process —  NeverEndingSearch | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Joyce Valenza writes: "We need to learn how to leverage the tools on our new desks.  We need to make conscious choices about the way we manage information and communication workflow in a way that is entirely anti-worksheet.   For any of the tools we use, we need to master notions of their affordances and constraints."

I had a teacher ask if I could teach her students app smashing. I explained that the project we just did with her class, using Google Slides, Google Cultural Institute, Nimbus Screenshot, and Google Hangout was exactly that. Joyce's article gives a much better explanation of how, and more importantly, why we need to a better job of thinking about the tools we use and teach.

Lesson Flows: app smashing instructional design — @joycevalenza NeverEndingSearch | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
I’ve written quite a bit about app smashing, the understanding that it often takes more than one app or tool to effectively accomplish a digital task.  Well, that concept is also true about building instruction these days. How can we better harness and leverage all of those appealing digital tools we discover?
