converting people to mindmappers

(note: apologies to friends who have been bored by the inactivity of this blog... thanks to Michiel & Pepijn for kicking me into activity)



My old job at IPHM taught us about making matrixes, frameworks. At ISS, we call them mindmaps. It's basically a tool of how to put down your thoughts more visually (with arrows and everything), or as our professor says.... "how to use your brain".

Lo and behold, there's such a software program called Mindmanager that lets you make computerized mindmaps. And it's now the ultimate study tool for us and our study groups. (There's another miraculous program called Endnotes that helps us with our referencing for essays and research papers).

Girlie (above photo) and I are both such mindmap fans that we've been giving little lessons to some colleagues. Word spread though, that we can easily be cajoled to give tutorials so we are now giving semi-regular tutorials for future mindmappers as part of the school's IT & Library Committee activities.

Hopefully, we are making more sense out of the world... at least with one mindmap at a time.
