Bubbl.us diagram comparison of mind mapping tools. Mindmeister wins hands-down! What I like about Mindmeister:
- Full collaboration and sharing options.
- Cross-platform app available
- PC Client available (on Safari & Chrome -- fingers crossed for Firefox)
- Full integration with Google account
- Links to files, Websites, & images
All these tools give you a place to at least start
organizing thoughts, ideas and resources for project planning. With Common Core
in our future and SBAC testing on the horizon, collaborative project planning
and storyboarding skills are increasing important for educators and students. I
like to embed tools in my PD so that staff get introduced to a variety of items;
not just the topic at hand.
I could use bubbl.us as a formative assessment; at the beginning
of a presentation to collect assumptions, expectations, fears, wonderings etc;
at the end, to collect reflections and desired follow up.
I could use MindMeister to work with our communications
department in developing social media guidelines. With MM we can work
collaboratively across space, we can mine resources and link them together for
further review later. We can also develop an action plan in regards to rolling
out the plan to various role-groups that might include press releases,
district-wide communications, training videos, etc.
