Mindmapping and brainstorming tools

Comments from some of those who selected FreeMind as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2009

  • Tool for easy capturing of the main concepts and their relationships in one map Malinka Ivanova
  • I've only just got into mindmapping and am finding it a very useful tool for capture ideas for design of learning projects Stephanie Horden
  • When I'm a bit muddled, I use Freemind to organise my ideas.  Brian Mulligan
  • 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 Friedrich

  • " to plan projects, to outline the module curriculum for students – free and publishable as a pdf so it can be sent to anyone without special software needed to read it."  Jane Challinor
  • "A mental map application, once again open source, that I use to structure my ideas and arrange them in a coherent manner."  Guy Boulet
  • "Still on the free tools. I love this free mind mapping software. Easy to use and a great way of managing and recording meetings live. "  Steve Rayson
  • "Tool for easy capturing of the main concepts and their relationships in one map."  Malinka Ivanova
  • " It is my mind mapping software of choice and a good start for any project, as it helps me activate both sides of my brain and create a visual representation of ideas." Anastasia Prynikova
