Flowchats using Flowol!!

I found this task quite interesting as I have never tried to create a flowchart using a computer programme before. Initially I found it quite difficult, because I didn't put in enough commands to make everything link together! Once I had figured out how to delay everything, so it made sense as the Ferris Wheel rotated! My flow chart is quite long and complex, because I had not realised you could have several smaller flowcharts working at the same time. I shall remember this for next time I try to complete one or if I use it in schools.

I quite liked the flowchart task, because it did not take me that long to complete the task and I like how it works. It makes you think in a different way to some of the other tasks that we have had to complete during this module. I think that it could be quite useful in a primary classroom, but it will be more limited with its uses compared to some of the other tasks like the animation. I still think that if there is an opportunity to use it, then I will try to during my teaching.
