A Better Way to Learn: Mead Map for Educators & Students
Posted by Chance Brown on January 17, 2009
Mindmapping is a great tool for capturing, organizing and presenting information. It is also a great tool for studying and learning new information. I talk extensively about mindmapping and its benefits on my other blog called The Mindmap Blog.
But here I want to highlight a mindmapping tool designed with students and teachers in mind.
Recently Mead, the maker of Mead Map, created a special pilot program for schools.
The pilot program includes the following:
- Students & instructors get free access to the program.
- Instructors get personal guidance and support by Mead as needed.
- Instructors must require the students to use Mead Map and help push usage throughout the course through e-mail and syllabus directions.
- As part of the free benefit, instructors and students will need to provide feedback and share maps showing use in the classroom.
- Instructors receive a $100 gift card for administering the pilot program.
If you are interested in seeing young people use better tools for their academic success, I strongly encourage you to check out Mead Map. Click here for more information.
Here are a few examples of Mead Map (click to enlarge):
