I'm trying to develop this googledoc on uses for Mindmapping in the classroom. Any suggestions, ideas, way you've used or might use mind mapping?

Hi Mary, my students use bubbl.es for Science schemes. They love to do it instead of using paper. I send you an example in Spanish.

Thank you very much !! See the updated file at: http://www.yoursmarticles.blogspot.com
Mary -

You might want to click on the "Collaborative Idea Maps" forum link (scroll down the right hand side of the screen here), if you haven't already. You'll find some useful discussions about this there.
To Mary Howard, my students use mindmap to learn words and to develop their talents. They send a photo with text from their iPhone to the mindmap. They translate words with the iPhone. They also use dropbox to sync between mindmap and iPhone.
Cheers,
WB.
I have just added http://www.mywebspiration.com to my August Newsletter of free internet tools for teachers. It is not as slick as Inspiration, but with almost non-existent school budgets, this would be a semi-decent substitute.

PREZI

It was an eye-opener for me the first time I used it, I kept trying to arrange my ideas into neat little squares (like on presentations) and it made me THINK. It's one big canvas with no up or down, it's zooms, it's simple. My students loove it!

Mary, I teach high school, and I use "semantic network" concept mapping to develop students' academic vocabulary and to detect misconceptions and create understandings about the meanings of concepts and how they are interrelated. Semantic Networks are a specific type of map which have both 1) concepts (nodes) and 2) in between the nodes, links which contain verbs and verb phrases to characterize the relationships among the concepts.
Software that does this kind of mapping includes Semantica (the gold standard), Inspiration (Expensive, but very common), and Cmap Tools (useful and free!). I find that I can intervene early when students have a misconception which might otherwise go undetected until later. I'm going to try to upload a .pdf of a concept map I created on Cmap Tools, which is designed to explain my take on what concept maps are all about.

I plan on using several mind-mapping tools. One is double-bubble which is an organized Venn-diagram essentially. http://drb.lifestreamcenter.net/Lessons/thinking_maps.htm. As the students begin to feel comfortable with that I will move into more. The following site has an interesting collection, but of course you have to make sure that the mind-map works with the assignment:) http://www.exploratree.org.uk/

Last, there is http://www.freeology.com/graphicorgs/ which has 17 pages of graphic organizers!
