Use MindMeister to Create Concept Maps

December, 01 2010

Looking for an easy and attractive way to organize information graphically? Our Resource Center staff has been on the lookout for an online tool that would simplify creation of the "contextual webs" that map out concepts related to the historical-social-artistic contexts of each of Lincoln Center Institute's repertory works of art. MindMeister is a great contender! A 4-minute tutorial video shows you how to map out your concepts, draw connections, format font and color, and add notes, web links, attachments, and images to different elements in the map. And it's easy to "drag-and-drop" elements to rearrange the map. They even have tools to search the web for you and offer up suggestions. (Click here and scroll down for the tutorial). Check out this Ghostcatching contextual web created with MindMeister. It was downloaded as a PDF, which means that the web links are functional—just click on any element that has a little chain link icon next to it.
