Mindmapping:
Mindmapping is really a graphical method of planning or taking notes. They can be really useful for brainstorming and planning content. They can also be used as a presentation tool at conferences – see Andy Black: ‘Mobile Learning & Online Communication’
MindMeister:
As you can see above, a fully functioning MindMeister map can be embedded into a page and viewed in full-screen. Other good features…
The ability to:
- preview external links with a thumbnail image when you rollover the
icon - add notes which can be viewed when you roll over the

icon (see e-Portfolio/ PebblePad) - upload your own images or use the rather nice ones provided (shown above)

- collaborate in real-time with a chat function (enabled when you click on a collaborator’s name)
- assign specific tasks to collaborators, listing priorities and due dates

This map has been created using a Basic (free) account which allows you to have 3 maps. Other paid options are available – this free version is very impressive!
Can you recommend any other mindmapping software? What do you use them for?
I use mindmaps a lot in my teaching and very often they are an coursework requirement. I use a variety of apps to support this, some of them are:
- SimpleMind
-IdeaSketch
-iBrainstorm
