Trying out Inspiration v.8 – a mind mapping software in an (possibly vain) attempt to revise for my impending exam. I was impressed with the look of the templates and the way they were split into curriculum areas – see snapshot below…

…but I find them a little awkward to adapt – it seems to me to be easier to start from scratch.

It’s easy to automatically change a diagram into an outline, but it’s not as easy to reverse the process and change an outline into a diagram. Having said that however, I am pleasantly surprised at the amount of graphics and symbols available as I don’t remember the last software I used for this task (Mind Genius), last year, having this many images.

This doesn’t make me panic any less about the exam, but it’s proving to be quite useful when trying to put my thoughts in order. 🙂
