11 Mind Mapping Apps for the iPad

11 Mind Mapping Apps for the iPad | Jewish Education Around the World | Scoop.it

Mind mapping is a method that works for quite a lot of people. Brain storming, idea mapping, thought generation, think tanks – call it what you will. Traditionally done on large pieces of paper, why not use your iPad to create mind maps? You could use these for your own purposes, or “convert” those large flip charts into a smaller, digital version.

Lee Hall's curator insight, May 16, 2:16 PM

Research shows that mind maps (graphic organizers) are effective during all stages of learning. You can use them as an introduction to a unit, during the unit for continued note taking, or at the conclusion as a formative assessment to make sure your students truly understand the material.

AlGonzalezinfo's curator insight, May 17, 7:19 AM

I use mind mapping all the time and look definitely look into these apps.

Ruth Vilmi's curator insight, May 12, 3:45 AM

This is not new - I taught the International Writing Exchange (IWE) from 1993, but technology allows much more nowadays. Go for it and learn whatever your heart desires!  Go for challenging courses though, not a book on the Web!! 

Lola Ripollés's curator insight, May 12, 4:10 AM

Information and knowledge is there. Only you decide what to make of it.

Sharing knowledge will always give you back more than what you give.

Teachinginthe21st's curator insight, May 13, 2:03 PM

I have participated in one...have you? Try them out. Check out www.coursera.org for courses!
