Thank you David. I don't work with kids, but I find all of this very
interesting.

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.
