I also like to use Spiderscribe to mindmap as you can do so much more with it than with bubbl.us. With Spiderscribe you can easily make a very engaging attractive mindmap:
*you can add a text note, and even include active weblinks
*you can add photos,
*you can attach Word documents or PDFs
*you can attach maps
*you can attach calendar events. Below you can see more clearly the five elements you can add. Spiderscribe can be accessed at http://www.spiderscribe.net.
Here is a YouTube video tutorial that seems to explain how to create a Spiderscribe mindmap quite well.
Sharing a Spiderscribe mindmap
Under the word Share, choose your sharing options and email the person you want to collaborate with.
Mindmapping in the classroom
1. Spiderscribe especially is great to use in subjects like History or Geography because the students can make concept maps and add pictures, word documents plus organise the map in such a way that it can be remembered easily.
2. For English classes this can be used to summarise a novel, or create notes on something they are studying.
3. This is a great way to collect information for a project as well and also to collaborate on projects.
4. In Language classes students can brainstorm and outline a story they are planning to write
A challenge
*Please try out one of these tools and if you create something do share it with us.
*Please also add any other ideas you may have for using a mindmap in class.
