I found using this program for creating the map was very helpful. I didn't realize that program like this existed and have been using Word to create maps individually. The design choices and shapes and colors all made this map so creative and fun to complete. I learned that I can break down the steps to reaching my goal to make it less overwhelming
it was really useful learning how to create all the add-ins like the date and time, the foot notes, and the citation creations were especially helpful since I use citations a lot in my writing.
It was interesting in learning how to use the functions. I never really new what a lot of those abbreviations were for and a lot of the time I would look them up individually so learning where I can look for them to use was very insightful. I also didn't know you can hide pages which is a great thing to use to just show the final product.
Learning how to use the expand button on the bottom right corner of the different sections to see all the features of Paragraph for example was very helpful in learning how to more precisely edit the slides.
