Minds Collaboration

Dear Colleagues,

Most of us, if not all, are familiar with mind maps. I remember my first-time spider web map that I used for a college composition course. I must admit using this approach has made writing essays easier for me. Therefore, I've been using mind maps for almost everything ever since. As matter of fact, I've been using it for planning, organising, and even meditating. Based on my experience, I believe mind mapping approach is a powerful tool to diagram what you've learned about a specific item and spot the missing gaps precisely. Thus, you know exactly what you have and what you don't.

I've been searching for a web tool to draw mind maps. To my surprise, I found lots of websites offering web-based mind mapping. Some are free and some are not. Therefore, I made a shortlist of and begun trying them one by one checking their features and potentials. Luckily, I found a really wonderful full cream mind mapper. It's Mind42. Does the name imply anything to you?

As a matter of fact, it inspired me to the idea of collaboration of many minds to create one map. In our situation, I suggest that everyone of us should make a mind map of his/her own diagramming own unique experiences, ideas, and findings on each week's task as well as discussion topic. Let's share our mind maps at our blog, as a start. I believe it will add a lot to each blog. Moreover, imagine that we can also collaborate on producing one map together! We can share one or more mind maps through Mind42 and add our fingerprints to them. I'm doubtless that the collaboration of the beautiful minds of such distinguished professionals like you will ultimately produce a rich and unique content.
What do you think?

If you do or don't agree, I'd love to read your highly valued comments.

My best wishes,

Amjad
