MindMapping for Learning

Mind-mapping is a great way to get organized. It is an even better way to organize learning materials. I found a really cool template on the Mindjet website. This template is designed to be used by students but the closer I looked at the more I realised an instructor/teacher could adapt it into a lesson plan pretty easily as well. For students though I think one of the biggest aids this would provide is help in creating research papers and written assignments. MindManager has some really great tools for exporting to Microsoft Word. By the time you use RSS feeds in MindManager and use it to track your research and notes from lectures you can have a tool that is practically doing the work for you.
