I attended a Learning & Skills group conference yesterday. My highlight was a presentation from Tony Buzan (listen to my Audioboo):
And I’ve also had a go using the iMindMap software that was described in the presentation to develop a mind map of the conference:
I used to use mind mapping quite extensively and have included mind mapping on a number of development programmes I’ve run, but have got out of the habit. And I’ve also used a couple of different software systems in the past but none that works quite as easily as this. We’ll have to see whether it encourages me to rediscover the habit.

Everyone at the office thinks I'm a bit potty using mind maps. Whereas everyone else is scrawling horrible lists and tracts of notes I've got a lovely diagram of my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely swear by them though. They help structure things and I use them for everything from taking minutes, todo lists, shopping, etc.
