My reflection on Bubbl.us application.
Collaborative mind mapping tools like Bubbl.us are great for conducting a brainstorming session with your students.— for some good examples, see freetech4teachers.com. I don't think, however, that giving a "prepared" talk using this tool would sufficiently engage the students.
This is a great application in order for thoughts and ideas to be shared in order to gain a common objective. It would also be a good tool to illustrate to the students at the start of a course how that course is going to fit together.
Visual diagrams or 'Mind maps' could enable me to develop business ideas when creating business plans.
It isn't really designed for the presentation, more of a instigation maybe, something to stimulate a class discussion, or begin a collection of ideas.
