[Year 12 IT Apps] Task 3 I'm still confused

"record visually the decisions made and actions taken when
problem-solving"

This to me sounds like a task that needs to be done at the same time as
the problem solving methodology is being followed through. If this is
the case then mind mapping tools are not really useful as they are best
used up front in the analysis/design process.

To me the skill required is best served with a diary type solution
except for the fact that it says "record visually..."

What's the point of drawing pictures or using icons etc to express a
simple linear progression through the problem solving methodology. To me
it feels like forcing a tool into an assessment task that does not
really fit but "we have to put it some place...".

A little cynical I know, but if anyone can help me understand better
what is required I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Brendyn
