ICT as a mindtools

Mind tools are computer-based tools that have been developed to function as intellectual partners with the learner in order to engage and facilitate critical thinking and higher order learning. These tools include concept mapping, visualizations, live conversation, computer mediated conferences and other tools.
Mind mapping is one of the mind tools that can be used to draw diagrams to represents words, tasks, ideas and other items and link them to a central key word. I think that using diagrams to represent the information will make the information more clear to the learner and will assist in organizing the knowledge. Mind maps can be used for problem solving and for outlining framework design; also it can be used to structure relationship representations and enhancing work morale.
There are some of the mind mapping software that can be used to organize large amounts of information. Software packages can extend the concept of mind mapping by allowing individuals to map more than thoughts and ideas with information on their computers and the internet, like spreadsheets, documents, internet sites and images.
