MindMapping

I was asked to offer a PD session next month on MindMapping software that students could use in their brainstorming process. My initial thought was to introduce the software that is available on our Board's image. Then it occurred to me, why not check out online alternatives? That way students could access the software from home and school.

One quick Google search later, I came across bubbl.us, a free online mindmapping website. If you sign up for a free account, you can store up to 3 mindmaps (you can create as many as you'd like, but only 3 can be saved online). Any mindmaps created can be savee as a .jpg or .png image for download.

Does anyone else have good Mindmapping software or websites that are worth a try?

    My favourite right now can be found at www.Mind42.com Though students need an email address to create an account, they can collaborate with others (I've had my whole class work on one mind map!), and publish it - either as a link or embedded within the MOODLE page. very cool!
