Out of Class Work: Practicing with the Interface!

Today I mostly just played around with the text2mindmap.com interface, getting used to it. It seemed pretty simple when I first looked at it. They gave a brief overview of how to operate it, and then gave you an example of something they had done:

I have to go to the grocery store today, so I decided that now would be a good time to create my grocery list using this tool! I continued to play around with the tool, and learning how each to create each section. It was very easy to use, and I didn’t have any trouble making my list. Thats when I found the ‘options’ section, and realized how much more this tool had to offer! You could customize many different parts of your mind map, and it was really fun to play around and experiment with all of the different options.

I ended up having a lot of fun practicing and working with this tool, and I feel like I will be able to have a good time experimenting with it further. I am even able to print it out and take it to the store with me, which I find to be useful. I played around with the colors, fonts, and several other things before I finally felt that I completely understood the interface, though I will likely practice with it a bit more, and then do a bit more research before I begin to start my project.
