I decided I would spend some time this week looking at various software available designed for mind-mapping. I came across this one call Mindjet. This one was interesting because it allows you to send your mindmap through various social networking sites, such as twitter, facebook etc. Also, if you have a Mac computer it allows you to share your mindmap while you are ichating with someone which I thought was a very cool feature.

Mind Genius is another software, but there website wasn't very user friendly to me, and this software didn't seem as useful as others.

ThinkBuzan is another mindmap product out there. This one seems to be focused on apple products; iphone, ipad, mac computers. Which I found very interesting that this feature could be on your phone!

Well I hope you enjoy looking at these various types of software!
These are great resources, Angela! Of the ones you've found, is there any one in particular you would prefer?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have looked at the iPhone application. It seems that students would be able to create and then send in their production as a classroom task. Would you have a problem with setting class tasks on an iPhone?
ReplyDeleteLeigh... My personal favorite was the mindjet one mainly because it could be accessed and delivered through multiple devices. It seems with that one you can get more out of it and can be applied to more people in many situations.
ReplyDeleteSteven.....I wouldn't have a problem setting class tasks on an iPhone. As long as the work was up to standards then I think as long as the student is producing the quality of work you want them to, why limit to only a pen and paper.
I really enjoyed my time making a Mind map and that I could see all my ideas in front of my eyes. it surprised me what I thought of to add to the map and would have not thought about before seeing the map.
