Mind Mapping



Using Inspiration is a great way to visually express your ideas and organize them. I like how the mind maps can come alive as you personalize them with graphics and color. I had not used Inspiration in about 5 years, so I had to shake out the cobwebs. Good thing there was a link to a video of how to use the software. Although I see the benefit of Inspiration, I can get frustrated with Inspiration. This is significantly when my type A personality comes out. It bothers me when the bubbles are different sizes, the links are crooked, or the lines are different lengths, etc. Therefore, I spend so much time formatting and not concentrating on the content. I like the rapid fire button so I can at least brainstorm all my ideas and then worry about formatting.
