Showing pictures, reading phrases or simply deriving equations is somewhat vague or ambiguous for sometimes to our students most especially when they cannot visualize the relation of what we wanted to share or teach them. Even in a good presentation, when a presenter could not relay the topic from its context the objective will not be achieved.
An online tool that I found in the net that somewhat can help solve this scenario is the use of Mindmeister. A tool used to create a concept map.

Each time you made changes in your map, it automatically save it. You can go back to what you have done before by clicking in the history button, you can even revert what you have made. You can open your mind map anywhere with any device because the program is accessible in both android and iOS devices.

MAP EDITOR |
In your working screen, there are several icons that you may encounter. There are two (2) toolbars, upper bar, lower bar and a small window (properties) that you can maximize/minimize so you may view your work well.

The lower toolbar is used to: view history, set-up presentation, set-up map option, share, hint and search tool. The hint bar which has a picture of a bulb is used to search the library of Mindmeister for any file/ map that you can use in making your mind map.

While the search bar portion is used to find anything else in your mind map. It is subdivided into five (5) searching method like all (anything), idea caption, editing user, task owner and icon.

ICONS |
The property window is used to edit the idea caption where you are into. You can edit the fonts format, insert icons and insert notes, file, links or tasks.
The good side of inserting icon in your idea caption is that it can easily be searched by your collaborators in the search toolbar.
