MindMeister is a\nmind mapping app that allows users to collaborate on creating diagrams that\nillustrate ideas and their connections.&nbsp; These diagrams could be traditional flow\ncharts, diagrams of how complex pieces of information fit together, work flows,\nor they could be used to capture brainstorming sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diagrams\nare created by building off of a main theme.&nbsp;\nAdditional nodes or branches can be created\nfrom that theme to capture additional ideas or tasks.&nbsp; Relational arrows can be used to connect\ndifferent nodes and show relationships between the different pieces of\ninformation.&nbsp; MindMeister allows you to\ncolor code different nodes or connections to better\ncategorize or relate information to each other.&nbsp;\nIn each of the nodes the user can add text, images, related documents,\nlinks, or video.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MindMeister\nhas many useful collaboration features.&nbsp; Individuals can easily be invited to edit and help\ncreate the mind maps.&nbsp; The maps can also be shared with others without giving them\npermission to edit them.&nbsp; Users can add\ncomments and notes to each of the nodes and in a general comment section.&nbsp; There is also a voting\nfeature that users can use to vote on ideas.&nbsp;\nTasks or responsibilities can be assigned to specific users.&nbsp; Once a mind map has been completed, the map\ncan be shared publicly or downloaded as a pdf or image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app is available for mobile devices and the web.\u00a0 Some of the more advanced features are only available through the web; for example, embedding video at no cost.\u00a0 The free license is restricted to three mind maps at a time.\u00a0 A monthly subscription allows for the creation of unlimited mind maps and also allows a user to attach documents within the nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practice Implications: <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MindMeister\ncould be integrated into classes and practice in many ways.&nbsp; Educators could use the mind mapping tool to generate diagrams for\nspecific topic areas.&nbsp; They could also\nwork collaboratively with students to map out an entire semester\u2019s worth of\ncontent for a course, drawing relationships between content covered in each\nclass to overall themes or learning outcomes.&nbsp; Instructors could also ask students to use\nMindMeister to map out research assignments or specific topic areas.&nbsp; In practice, MindMeister could be used to\ngenerate organizational charts or work flows for complex tasks.&nbsp; It could also be\nused with clients to generate ecomaps or genograms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Privacy Policy Disclaimer: <\/strong><strong>https:\/\/www.mindmeister.com\/privacy<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Device used for this review:<\/strong> iPad and Web<\/h3>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F445&#038;t=MindMeister&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F445&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F92%2F2020%2F04%2FIMG_0504.png&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=MindMeister\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/happe\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F445&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/happe\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F445&#038;title=MindMeister\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/happe\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=MindMeister&#038;body=Hey%20check%20this%20out:%20https%3A%2F%2Fubwp.buffalo.edu%2Fhappe%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F445\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/happe\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MindMeister allows users to create mind maps.&nbsp;
