When I'm a bit muddled, I use
Freemind to organise my ideas.

Mind mapping software is very useful
for me (and not only in education). I use mind maps for
drawing definitions at my textbooks, designing projects,
“translating” ideas into paper, etc. I also teach my
students to use mind maps. Although I have NovaMind 4
Pro for professional work I prefer FreeMind in education
– it is free and easy to use. Vaclav

it."

ideas." Anastasia Prynikova
