In this mind map, there are mentioned some of the benefits of Mindomo and activities that students can do using this tool.
Using mind maps makes learning easier and helps developing thinking skills. The mind maps created with Mindomo help in understanding the course material, reviewing and memorizing, planning and writing essays.
90% of the information transmitted to the brain is visual, so Mindomo is a great tool for fast learning.
Also, mind mapping can improve learning and memory by 10 to 15% versus conventional note-taking and studying.
Mindomo has a live chat where students can discuss with their colleagues directly on the map.
Maps can be shared very quickly between students and teachers on Mindomo or via e-mail. Students can receive feedback in a very easy way.
Students and teachers who create a Mindomo account can get instant access to mind map assignments by using their names and access codes.
Students can also create accounts that don’t require e-mail registration and do the assignments shared by teachers. However, if a teacher has a premium subscription on Mindomo and shares the assignment with students, they will have premium rights only on that assignment.
For Schools licences, an administrator can invite students and teachers to join the school. In this case, when they create their account, they will automatically have premium rights. The number of people that can join the school and have access to the premium features is chosen by the person/entity that bought the license. The number of students/teachers can be supplemented later.
Mindomo can be used directly from Google Classroom/Apps and Office 365 accounts and platforms like Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, Desire2Learn, Clever, itslearning, Schoology, or any other learning management system.
Mindomo can be used in schools or at home and improve students' capacity of learning, reduces the time required to complete projects, helps teachers evaluate assessments and encourage long-term learning.
Learning with mind maps is more efficient and helps students learn faster and improve their long-term memory.
