Getting Started with L.E.D. – MindMap

Greetings from Me and My House,

Do you want a quick overview for Getting Started with LED? Do you like things laid out in a “1-2-3″ way? Do you want to see what I’m talking about when I say “Learning Map” – an AWESOME way to brainstorm, plan, and outline? We first learned of making these as a pre-writing help many years ago (about 13?) when we used the Weaver unit study curriculum. I don’t remember what they called them, but I was impressed by their usefulness and teaching benefits. Last year I came across the information that there is *software* out there to make designing MindMaps easy, neat looking, and computerized. We tried several programs, and this is the one we liked best and bought. You can download a FREE “viewer” of this program to open the attached Learning Map. [Link lost?]

To open the attached map(s) you can download the free
MindManager Viewer.
=========================================

[UPDATE: MindManager was the first mindmapping software we used, and the one mentioned in this article. It was a powerful program, but only available on windows, and quite pricey (for the professional version I liked.)

Since then I have found a couple more mindmapping programs that we like. Inspiration is a program specifically designed for classroom/educational use - and was the best we could find for use on Macintosh computers - and it is bi-platform.

Since then I have also found and like NovaMind better for Mac. It is a fairly new program, originally designed for Mac, and now brand new for Windows. (It's rare that I will purchase a type of software that I already have, unless I'm really impressed with the second.) You can download any of these for a free trial period.

BTW, I had no trouble recieving the substantial educational discount as a home educator. I will warn you ahead of time, don't send for the educational discount coupon until you are ready to purchase. It expires within a couple of days of being sent.]

At Jesus’ feet,
Lisa
