Week 7: Digital pedagogy

I like how Wendy has explained algorithms with flow charts, making it easier to understand and relate to, having just designed these in the last few weeks.
"Algorithms, by definition, involve a process. Processes are best depicted in a flow chart. This may be branching or non-branching, iterative or linear" (Fasso, 2015).

When I looked up 'Flow chart for algorithms' I was swamped with charts full of information I could not understand which was a little daunting to be honest. Making me think 'huh should I know this?'

I had a brief look at the website 'gliffy' mentioned by Wendy and as she had stated it has great ways to make and utilise flow charts and would be a fantastic digital resource for my journal.
I am finding this entire course very interesting, challenging and hugely resourceful for my career.
