Generate Better Ideas With These Android Mind Mapping Apps

Generate Better Ideas With These Android Mind Mapping Apps | Skolbiblioteket och lärande | Scoop.it
Brainstorming is sometimes a spur-of-the-moment activity. Arguably, the best tool for generating ideas remains the humble pen and paper. Again arguably, the second best tools are mobile phones and tablets.

When sitting down to create a mind map all you need are two things; an idea and a brain. You put your idea in the centre and let your brain do the rest. Your idea could be anything really; a topic you’re covering in school, the title of an essay, the theme of a presentation you have to do—it’s up to you.

Visual Root - create collaborative, live mind maps

Visual Root - create collaborative, live mind maps | Skolbiblioteket och lärande | Scoop.it
Forum-style, collaborative mind maps.

Visual root is a place to create online, collaborative mind-maps using video, images, and text.

Practically, the goal is for one person to start with an idea, or topic, and for other people to be able expand and improvise on that idea using different forms of media.

You could also view the site as an image-board of sorts, where there's an initial post or thread, and image and video (and text) responses to that thread and the entire thread has a mind-map like structure.


Via Baiba Svenca
Baiba Svenca's curator insight, December 24, 2012 1:06 PM

A very interesting application which produces irregular mind maps from one "root" that can be an idea, a concept, an image etc.

The maps are created by the users, they are interactive and "live", you can move the nodes around, interact with other people, vote on individual nodes, zoom in and out, share portions of maps.

Great for collaborative school projects and presentations.

Which is the best mindmapping software? | Skolbiblioteket och lärande | Scoop.it

I track discussions about mind mapping on Twitter and in blogs, and I often hear or read the question "Which is the best mindmapping software?" Anyone who gives you a single, immediate answer either knows you and your mindmapping activities very well, or is likely recommending the one that they've become familiar with themselves.

Learning to learn remains a powerful and necessary skill in every field of activity.  In addition to this skill, imagine that your learning can be accelerated, your mind challenged and your efficiency improved.

 

Create presentations:

One of the most important roles of presentations is for you to practice your creativity and understanding on a specific topic or subject.  When you are able to present your own perspective on a specific matter, your learning experience becomes extremely powerful.  You become the owner of that information, gaining ownership over the delivered content.

Welcome to mindmapping.com

Welcome to mindmapping.com | Skolbiblioteket och lärande | Scoop.it

Mindmapping.com provides information on creating mind maps, mind mindmapping software and the theory behind mind mapping.

Mind mapping is a highly effective way of getting information in and out of your brain. Mind mapping is a creative and logical means of note-taking and note-making that literally "maps out" your ideas.

All Mind Maps have some things in common. They have a natural organizational structure that radiates from the center and use lines, symbols, words, color and images according to simple, brain-friendly concepts. Mind mapping converts a long list of monotonous information into a colorful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works...
