Tablet PC 101 #5 Mind mapping
Mind Mapping works better on a Tablet PC than on a desktop PC or laptop. Mind Mapping is a creative process that is used for capturing ideas, thoughts and concepts and organising them logically. It can also be used as a note-taking method and a memory aid.
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. It is used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.

It’s often a process that involves discussion and brainstorming. Because Mind Mapping is a creative process it flows better in your handwriting.
There are several Mind Mapping software packages available that bring Mind Mapping to your PC. Mind Manager from Mindjet allows you to work in Ink on that Tablet PC. The ability to create a map in digital ink with your own hand means Mind Mapping that just works better on a Tablet PC.
