Oof, finally no longer sick so I can start catching up on my schedule.

What is Coggle? Coggle is a digital tool that allows for the user to create aesthetically pleasing notes that are open to being worked on by groups much the same way that a Google document might. The web-like way in which the notes are organized is very easy to look at and allows for an ideal way to brain storm and color code notes on a collaborative document. The Coggle application in the Google store had some very helpful examples including a minute long introduction video that does a fantastic job as a little quick start guide.

Coggle also has a Youtube channel dedicated to helping users make the best of the application.

Side note to myself: So far Coggle is very seemless and user friendly. It seems somewhat basic and I would have thought it not very useful but the reviews and user help available quickly turned me away from that notion. I think it’s also important to note before I forget that like many applications today, it is dependent on the user having and linking an existing Google account. (Which while not being a hindrance to myself, could potentially be a setback to new users.)

I’ve watched the videos made available by Coggle and they do make the application very user friendly and even link you to a TedTalk that goes into how having a mind map can be useful when developing thoughts and projects, and that Coggle provides a handy online accessible notebook that embraces the organizational style of a mind map.
