Creatively Sticky
July 20th, 2010 by Mike Bryant
Creativity. Post-it notes at some point became the goto tool whenever some said, “Let’s have a creative brainstorm!” “Brainstorm!” sounds too much like an ice-cream head-ache run amok. I’d much rather map out my thoughts, make connections and build off those connections. The Speak Up 2007 report confirms that students (45%), teachers and parents would like more avenues to communicate and create, utilizing multiple devices and various types of media. Welcome Mindmeister. Saver of sticky paper and defroster of brains.
The below Mindmeister map provides an over of a project on immigration. This representation allows students to visually see connections between ideas they generate and even plan how they’ll create. Add in links to video, embedding of images and the ability to do this right from a mobile phone and you’ve got a powerful tool. In addition, Mindmeister provides the ability for students to collaborate during a creative session; allowing multiple users to add to the mind map for synchronous and asynchronous idea generation. If that’s not enough, Mindmeister even allows those text addicted to Text their thoughts whenever creativity strikes.
