Hope it's ok to mention product names. They'd likely come up anyway via
a search engine. Kidspiration is one of the more commonly used programs
of this type and there's a demo version. Teachers sometimes use these
programs. A lot of fun to play with. Draft Builder is similar but less
graphical - more for essay writing- it lets you add in references, that
kind of thing too.

Subject: Re: [OTlist] Mind Mapping
Pat, mind mapping is a technique for recording and recalling large amounts of information. It uses the idea that you take a central theme and then links various thoughts to it e.g. if the main idea is 'my family' there could be branches like siblings, pets, holidays, etc. Each of those ideas can have additional 'branches' added forming a 'map'. It's a technique often tought to students who are having to recall large amounts of information and something I used at university as a studying technique.
Ron, I sometimes use it with some of the older children I work with especially those who are struggling with their memory and organisational skills.
