Getting Started with Mind Mapping

  

Mind Mapping with Mindomo

Creating a mind map can help you organize your thoughts and brainstorm ideas for a writing assignment. You could draw out your mind map on paper, of course... but why not use software that turns your mind map into an outline that you can start typing in? Mindomo does just that. You can use it online, or download the software to your computer.
