Reflections on Online Mind Mapping

I found the use of online mind mapping tools very helpful and easy to use. I had previous experience with Bubble.us, so I decided to experiment with Mindome this time around to create some visual mind maps for both my wiki and blog. I found this site very easy to log in, open and use. My computer obviously supported all its needs as I didn't receive any of those terrible alert messages that I usually get. The tool was quick and easy to use and produced a visually appealing mind map. I feel teachers and students alike could use this online tool to produce well thought out plans and maps for design challenges. I feel that using a tool like this allows students to get down all there main ideas and opinions, with out fussing around with making it legible and visually appealing as the program takes care of these aspects for students.
