Benefits of MindManager
Advantages over traditional methods
There are many uses for mind-mapping which we will explore over the coming months and years.  There are many occasions when mind-mapping electronically will give us major advantages over traditional methods and it is primarily these that we will be planning to utilise in this project.
Teachers
Teachers will benefit from this resource in a variety of ways:

A variety of content-based mind maps to support different subjects - allowing teachers, at a glance, to see "the whole picture" and different aspects of topics that they are planning.
Mind maps to encourage the implementation of different aspects of accelerated learning techniques.
Mind maps which act as study guides which teachers may wish to adapt or use wholesale.
Mind maps which allow teachers to see "the whole picture" and different aspects of topics that they are planning. 

Students
Students will also benefit in different ways:

It is useful for students to have an overview of the topic in question, giving them a conceptual framework on which they can add detail.
Some content can be presented in a mind map form.
Students should be introduced to various strategies to aid their learning, especially in the areas of thinking, learning, recall and revising.

Getting involved
To see some of the mind maps that have been produced so far please check the notes for Using MindMaps and browse our MindMaps site.

Please email me with any useful MindMaps that you have created, or any suggestions or ideas you have for using MindManager.  I look forward to hearing from you.
