How to Create Mind Maps on the Internet
Mind maps are a tool used to organize and illustrate thoughts and ideas with meaningful links. A mind map revolves around a central idea or theme from which sub-concepts branch out. They can be used in educational and professional environments as a tool to help brainstorm and clarify a project's concepts and objectives. You can create your own mind map using free online tools in just a few easy steps.
