If you love mind maps (as most of us do) and if you love your smart phone (like most of us do!), then you'll love this.
The other day, I was on the train and needed to clear a whole load of stuff from my head onto paper. There was a couple of things. I needed to empty my thoughts on the design of a particular course I was working on whilst also organising my thoughts on tasks to complete for another project.
Usually on the train, there's barely enough room to sit down, let alone lay out a flip chart pad and some pretty pens. You might get some slightly strange looks doing that anyhow.
So I found Simple Mind+ an app for my IPhone (other smart phones are available too). This app does some pretty cool stuff. I've used it loads since for:
- Organising my daily "to do" list
- Planning the content of courses and programmes
- Writing eLearning scripts
- Oranising projects
- Planning meetings
- Writing up meeting notes
- Displaying content on Powerpoint slide visually
- Carrying out SWOT and PESTLE analysis
- Planning the development of assignments
You can save Mind Maps for later on, adding to them as you need to. You can also email mind maps as images that you can use within documents.
Quite a handy tool. Have a search for it on your App store. The IPhone version is just here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/simplemind+-mind-mapping/id305727658?mt=8
