Webbing/Mind Mapping

Hello!

In this week's assignment we had to create a mind map using three websites.  A mind map is a visual representation of mapping out the reader's thoughts.  It is an effective tool when reading or studying.

When creating the mind maps, I noticed SpicyNodes and Popplet are the easiest to use.  When I was adding nodes and sub-nodes, I just clicked and it appeared.  Also, embedding or sharing the mind map was easy as well.  Wisemapping was very difficult to use.  I had so much trouble trying to add sub-nodes.  I had to watch tutorial videos to figure out how to use the website.  I noticed myself getting frustrated with Wisemapping, that I had to step away for a moment.

I liked the way Popplet looked, it was simple and pleasing to the eye. I would encourage my students would Popplet because with one click you can add nodes and it is easy to move them around.

These are the following Mind Maps that I have created about Dr. Bell's article on Information Ethics.
