Hi Lee.

Did you have a look at Mindomo? I found it quite useful.

Hi Vic

That’s an excellent resource and thanks for sharing. Some teacher friends are teaching about the use of mindmaps this week and I’ve just sent them your link.

Thanks for posting such a tremendous resource.

Lists are definitely right for some things, but most of the time I find mind maps more helpful. For people who like mindmapping and want it free, I’ve just pulled together in one place the details of all of the web-based ones, over at
http://www.mind-mapping.org/web-based-mindmappers/ Mind42.com is there, of course, but so are many more.

The pages there show what’s free (and how much the subscriptions are for the others), what can import and export MindManager and FreeMind maps and, of course, where to find them. Like Mind42, most let you collaborate with others when making a mindmap, as well.

Good point Ben!

I’ve been using Mind43 for a couple of days now and think that I’ve finally got my head around the benefits.

Thanks for the comment.

Mind Maps are an excellent tool, but like any tool they work better if you have the knowledge of how to use them.

Mark – I’m the same with lots of lists, the only problem is that I never end up reading any of them!

I’m actually getting into the mindmap thing a bit more though, so watch this space!

Hi William – I hadn’t seen this software untill very recently, but the more I use it the more I like it. I’m obviously a very basic user of mindmaps, so I’m sure that it lacks a lot of feature that I probably wouldn’t notice, but it does seem very solid.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the link to the free mind map resource, I hadn’t seen Mind42 before.

I think you have to be visual to get the maximum benefit from mind mapping. Perhaps you process information and knowledge in a more kinesthetic or auditory fashion?

Ultimately, as long as we each understand how our mind works and processes information, that is what matters for successful life-long learning!

Peace.

Looks interesting Lee. I’ll have to take a look at that sometime.

Mind you, I’m not really into mindmaps either, and I’m like you! I’ve got loads of lists scattered about. I should really get them all sorted out…

Thanks for this Lee and have a good weekend.
