Mind Map Chrome App

By Anonymous -

Mind Map is a nice Chrome App that lets students EASILY create a mind map.


To get the app, first visit the Chrome Web Store and search for MindMap.

 Because the developers have recently upgraded the app, you will want to click on the newest version, MindMap 2.

Once the app is installed, you can easily create parent, child and sibling boxes.  Changing colors and adding text is simple.  There are a lot of choices with the simple tool bar.


MindMap is simple and easy for students to use.  Here are some additional features that are really great!
  • Extensions 

Working in a collaborative mode would be very useful in the classroom.

  • Sharing options
Embedding the mindmap on a blog or website is a great option.

  • Saving options
The ability to save the mindmaps to Google Drive is a huge timesaver!
  • Export options
Download your map as an image or to the MindMaze website.

I highly recommend giving the MindMap Chrome App a try!

The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
