There are a whole bunch of other Mind Mapping apps that I wanted to have a look at. We did a review of some excellent Mindmapping Apps in 2011 and had a big response. The apps mentioned are fantastic but there are some other cool Mind Mapping tools now available. Mind Mapping is one of those skills that students can really benefit from, whether it is just to organise what they need to know, showing what they already know or even scaffolding a piece of writing. I love the ease of mind mapping on the iPad especially those apps that allow you to go back and modify or enhance an existing mind map. Here is a bunch, find one that is appropriate for you or your students.
Cell Storming: FREEA unique mind mapping app that uses media for laying out thoughts and ideas. With Cell Storming you create mind maps by connecting hexagonal cells together and then adding media elements to these cells. You can add images, videos, voice memos, text, and web links to each cell on the map.
