EdTech Tool Uses:Freemind is a long-established and free mind-mapping software application. It is cross-platform (due to being written in Java) and so can run on Windows, Mac and Linux. As with other mind mapping software packages, FreeMind allows the user to edit a hierarchical set of ideas around a central concept. The non-linear approach assists in brainstorming new outlines and projects, facilitating discussions, planning essays and written tasks, and lots more. It has plenty of export options that include HTML and XHTML, PDF and OpenDocument, and PNG, JPEG and SVG.
