Mind mapping

Submitted by Alan Bell on Mon, 02/03/2009 - 9:08pm

Mind mapping is something I have come across a lot of times in industry. Some people love it, some just think it is a mess. I would be really interested in how it would be used differently in an educational context. Applications include FreeMind http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page and the really pretty looking BasKet http://basket.kde.org/screenshots.php I think BasKet could be really powerful when used in a collaborative way.

Open Mindedness at Hamble Community Sports College

Submitted by Kristianstill on Mon, 13/04/2009 - 11:34am

A couple of posts from Kristian Still's 'Middle Leadership and ICT Teaching' Blog, reflecting on Hamble Community Sports College's increasing use of Open Source Software, reproduced here with permission.

Since stumbling upon the FLOSS / FOSS Open Source community we now actively seek open source opportunities when looking to innovate. For example, with the exception of our Schools Licensing Agreement (Operating system / OFFICE suite) our main ICT products are now open source. Our school website is Joomla, our VLE is Moodle (and we are very happy with both) and we manage our network with Spiceworks. Next in the firing line are community building tools such as Elgg or Dolphin and communication tools such as ejabberd and la.conica, possibly integrating with Joomla / Moodle.

Marble - a virtual globe

Marble is a geographical atlas and a virtual desktop globe which lets you quickly explore other places on our planet.

You can use Marble to look up places, to easily create maps, measure distances and to retrieve detail information about locations that you have just heard about in the news or on the Internet.
