My Mind Map on Group Technologies.
This was a very easy site to use, however, the work is in developing the words/ideas you want presented.
The mindmapping tool allows you to generate and brainstorm ideas on a specific task. This tool then provides a 'scaffold' to build upon.
In my recent volunteer work at a local primary school, I've seen the year 3 students use the mindmapping tool (in written form) to generate ideas for their practice persuasive writing task. The teacher reads them a persuasive story, then the students analyse it using a mind map to highlight the arguments presented. She then gets the students to write a piece of persuasive text using their mindmap.
Students are able to hone their semantic skills and collate these thoughts into their own piece of writing.
Mind maps can be used for other writing tasks including summarising texts and the relevant ideas gained from them.
