My flowchart for researching Dual Coding and Cognitive Load is a simple design that explains how to use google.com and dogpile.com to surf the world wide web. It uses arrows and shapes to help one navigate through the steps of the chart, ovals to indicate the start and beginning, squares to represent process, and diamonds ti signify a question. There are several other shapes that stand for other steps that might be included in another type of process of steps. There are two in the beginning that include entering a url address and then entering a search topic. After searching, a question asks if your search was successful. If yes then you continue and click on that link but if your search is not successful, then you are told to click on the back button where you then can specify your search and then re-enter the new search in the search bar, while cycling you back towards the beginning. After you're able to find a site that fits your needs you can navigate that web page until satisfied, bring you to the end.I found that using flow charts makes everyday things seem stretched out but I can't imagine having to explain large amounts of information, it would become a puzzle to navigate.
