Maps can also be stored on Dropbox or on Github. Several students can collaborate on one map at the same time through their Google Docs account (which comes with their school email account). They can save and share their finished mind maps on a Google drive, or export them as. When uploading images from the hard drive, however, one needs to somewhat clumsily (at least in my case) choose the right image size by hand though. Pasting images or text copied from elsewhere into the mind map worked flawlessly for me. The shortcuts for text editing are mostly identical to the ones students will be familiar with from Microsoft Word.
Zooming and more intricate formatting happen on a clearly laid out little dashboard. You can use the mouse to move around any element of the map. Creating a mind map requires only three keys on your keyboard: Hit “Tab” to add a node, “Return” to add a new central node and “Space” to edit any node (in case you are too lazy to click on it). is a no-frills but very flexible mind mapping tool.
NOVAMIND TO GOOGLE DOCS FREE
To be included in this survey, mind mapping tools had to meet three basic requirements that seem essential for use in the classroom: They had to be free to use, not require any kind of local install, and not require user registration. There is now quite a variety of mind mapping services offered online in this blog post I am reviewing three that are potentially useful for teaching and try to point out their strengths and weaknesses. Online mind mapping tools such as mindmup have some advantages over locally installed software: they make it easier for students to continue working on their mind map at home, to collaborate with other students or share their work with their instructor. (We also have several lesson plans that involve mind maps).
NOVAMIND TO GOOGLE DOCS SOFTWARE
There is a wide variety of mind mapping software now, among them Novamind and Vue that are installed on our lab computers. Mind maps are a useful tool for students to organize their thoughts, papers, or both.
