Community reviews for Mindomo (mind mapping)

Mindomo School is great for classrooms. It makes collaboration easy.

I was very excited to use mindomo in my class. I have had great success with Popplet and was hoping that this program could be used in a mobile interface. Unfortunately, I felt that the interface was a little to confusing for my 7th and 8th graders. I would usually try a product multiple times before determining if it was essential but I quickly went back to Popplet.

Mindomo is a mindmapping tool, free to use, with plenty of flexibility. I've experimented with it a fair amount with the goal of using it for students to map projects and research and possibly even flowcharts for computer programs. However, I stopped short of using it in the classroom or even recommending it for students to use on their own. The interface is a bit confusing to use, requiring a fairly long time to create a document. The controls are not quite intuitive, and customizing the arrows and boxes takes too many steps. More effort to make the interface natural would greatly benefit.
