Google Docs Draw

For the second part of my practical experience, I decided to use Google Docs Draw to create a concept map for some of the reading that I so desperately need to do on my AR project. I've got to say that I hated using Draw. Maybe it's just me, but I found it hard to work with, my space was limited, and I frequently lost work because I closed the box and didn't hit return. Here was my first attempt.

Thinking that perhaps I just wasn't giving it enough time, I tried again. My second attempt was a little better than the first, but I still do not believe that Google Docs Draw is worth the time for concept mapping, particularly in light of all the other tools that are available for making a concept map.

Please don't get me wrong. I am not saying that Google Docs Draw is a bad tool. Based on the videos that I saw on Draw; it does have good practical applications, but unless I am just inept; concept mapping is not one of the better applications.

Please let me know if I am missing something here.
