A Writer’s Perspective: Mindomo and Me

Please allow me to first introduce myself. I’ve been using mind mapping for 6 years now and have specialized on software such as: Freemind and Freeplane. In 2008, I started my own blog.  Today, after several years of practice, I am a trainer in this domain and I had the privilege to write my first book ” Mind Mapping: transform your ideas into project with Freeplane”.  The launching of this book took place 2 weeks ago and it is this book that stands at the origin of this post.  In my book I also included Mindomo especially in the part dedicated to the relationship between Freeplane and the other Mind-Mapping softwares.

The team of Mindomo suggested I should write a post regarding my impressions on Mindomo and how I use it.   The main ideas that I will focus on refer to: Why is Mindomo one of the best current solutions for beginners in Mind-Mapping ? Why is Mindomo an atypical mind-mapping software in the light of its features? Why does Mindomo know how to benefit from the advantage of being an online software application?

Why Mindomo is one of the best current solutions for beginners?

How Mindomo Changes Virtual Classrooms

In a recent article published on their website, OnlineDegree.com sang high praises for Mindomo and the value it brings to current online college students throughout the world today. By providing eLearners a place to organize their thoughts and have them reviewed by others, Mindomo essentially simulates a large-scale learning environment right in each distance-learning student’s living room.

The website also points out a plethora of other facts about online college students and the way that they learn; while at-home schooling promotes higher graduation rates, better learning retention, and generally higher grade point averages, the one major complaint that students have is the lack of community and fellowship.

While goal-oriented students can do just fine studying independently, others need that feeling of being a part of a group to really shine. Some online colleges do have group-related activities and projects online but just as many do not.

“The reason we reached out to Mindomo was fairly obvious,” Varnon added, “and I think it is an awesome benefit to anyone who is pursuing an online degree or preparing for a new career. The networking possibilities are endless.”

On top of promoting various student tools, OnlineDegree.com also reviews online colleges, scholarship programs, and features expert advice from several online teachers and administrators. It is currently one of the premiere sites on the Internet for obtaining information about an online degree. The staff does an excellent job keeping readers up to date on current events and news within the genre as well.
