joint construction of branching mind maps. • Registration: M
idmno o for idmno o requires registration, using an email address. Students below 15 years of age require parental permission to sign up.
• Cybersafety: Find out from school records which students in your classes are under a media ban, generally due to a custody dispute. In addition, check parental blanket media permissions lodged with the school to see if any student is not covered or if any parent has refused permission. Provide alternative tasks for these students.
• Copyright: Remind students to use their own photos or Creative Commons images in Mindomo. The source URL and creator’s name should be cited in the Notes if the image is not their own. Explain that, for cybersafety, a creator’s name may be a pseudonym. idm

• Create a mindmap: Branching out from an initial central idea, Mno o idm
allows users to Insert topics, subtopics, notes and relationship connectors by selecting an item on the mindmap, then clicking on the desired item in the Insert menu. Items can be moved around easily if you decide later that they belong with another group of topics or subtopics.
• Annotate key ideas or puzzling questions: Items can be annotated with icons from the Symbols menu, indicating an idea, advantage, disadvantage or question. Students’ own images can be inserted into the mind map. Relationship lines can be added to link items which are far apart on the mindmap but which still actually have a connection.
• Save and share: When you email the URL of your completed mind map, email recipients will need to sign up to C
r a, and login to view it. ez a
