Mindmapping on computers is new to me, but already I have been using it with some of my students. I find it to be an effective way of getting ideas down on paper (on screen) and being able to overcome the 'tyranny of the blank page.' The way that mind maps can develop in an organic, multi-dimensional fashion is a good aid to starting a piece of work. From these beginnings the students I have used them
with are able to then give relative importance to each part and begin to put a linear structure to their essays.
