Tony Buzan is a leading expert on the brain and learning, and inventor of the revolutionary Mind-Mapping technique, which he believes is more efficient than conventional methods of writing notes and ideas.

 At Somerville Intermediate School students use Inspiration for mind mapping.

 Online there are a number of possible solutions students can use to create mind maps and collaborate with others in developing mind maps.

Here are a few. Find one that suits you. Create a page and name it **Online Tools ** and add the mind mapping site to your wikispace.
