Mind mapping, as a technique for plotting one's thoughts and ideas is an effective way to combine modalities of cognition. I.e. Visual, Auditory etc. The text2mindmap tool I used this week was great. It was easy to use, allowed me to dialogue my thoughts first and place them into a hierarchical diagram that I could then manipulate so as to properly represent my ideas.
The instrument was very easy to use and allowed interactive application that will definately suit pirmary students applications in the classroom.
Minus
I could not find a way of linking the final product to any other tool so I had to copy and paste and put into my website. The text2mindmap site does say that it is still in development mode so this may be addressed.
Interesting
I found the whole method of operation interesting, especially after having a go of Bubbl.us which I found very complicated and un-fulfilling as a mind mapping tool.
