As part of the technology subject that I am doing at uni, I was asked to construct a mind map indicating the reasons to incorporate ICTs within the classroom. Wanting to take a break from sitting at my netbook, I thought instead that I would use my iPad. I like to think that I work smart when I use my iPad - conducting research about the best available apps before purchasing but on this particular occasion I failed. Whilst I did read the reviews which were positive and downloaded the for mentioned app at the cost of $7.99, I was disappointed with the results. Even though the mind mapping tool allowed me to synthesize my thoughts into a comprehensive whole - the result wasn't as polished as I would have liked it to be. I was hoping for something a little more like my fellow pre-service educator Kerry Dowden's at The Road Ahead. She used a mind mapping tool which can be found here. Oh well live and learn.
