I have a favorite Mind Mapping site that furture explains the concept. It's from Mind Tools. Take a peak at the video. It's short and easy to follow. The only thing that may be confusing is that this site talks about including colors and even graphics that I thought differentiated concept maps from mind maps. (I'll do a bit more research on this.) But, overall, I think you'll get the idea of what a mind map is and the basics on how to create one.

Building on this, here's another mind mapping software site that demos how software (i.e., MindGenius) can be used in educational settings to allow teams to engage in collaborate learning using mindmaps.

There is a free 30 day trial for this under the education tab.
It should be fun.

ReplyDeleteMickey these sites were very helpful. I always like looking further into topics that you think you know but then figure out you really didn't know! I use mind maps both as a learner and instructor, so the site and 30 trial are always appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. This topic looks like it will really useful and a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Mickey,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sharing, I used to order my students do mind map project but I showed them only one program and one example.After looking on your post I found that there are a lot of ideas to create mind map and I'd like to use it on my teaching.
