New Thing 5: Mindmeister

Mindmeister is an interactive mind mapping tool. There are tutorials which aid greatly in learning the navigation of the site. Once I took the introductory tutorial, it was fast and fun. One feature that I found helpful was the tagging and the recommendations the site makes once you make a map. It's a great time saver! If you have Skype, you may interact with other users and develop a mind map simultaneously in an online conference.

Tutorial:
1. Follow this link: http://www.mindmeister.com/
















2. Sign Up for a new account.














3. After receiving your activation email, login and begin mapping.





4. Choose "create map".
















5. Rename new mind map.





















6. Add nodes to root.

















7. Rename parent and sibling nodes.
















8. In the right hand column you may set the properties and icons to your mind map.

















10. Mindmeister adds tags and makes recommendations for you based on the information in your map.















11. Your final map is now ready.
