Hello good people, welcome back to my blog 🙂

Have you ever heard about mind map? Could we make a mind map using online platform? Can we apply it to English learning activity? How to do it? Let’s discuss together.

A mind map is a diagram for representing tasks, words, concepts, or items linked to and arranged around a central concept or subject using a non-linear graphical layout that allows the user to build an intuitive framework around a central concept. A mind map can turn a long list of monotonous information into a colorful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain’s natural way of doing things

Could we make a mind map using online platform? Of course, we can make a timeline using online platform. There are a lot of online timeline maker such as Coggle, Visme, Vennage, Timegraphic, Lucidchart, Vizzlo. All of them are free but i will recommend you to use Coggle. Why? Because this one are the best for me, I think it will work good too for you. How to make it? Let’s discuss together.

Before we start the tutorial of making Coggle, do you know what is Coggle? According to Richard Byrne, Coggle is a collaborative mind-mapping service.

3. To re-arrange elements just click on them and drag them around your screen.
4. You can invite others to view and edit your mind maps.
5. You can also just invite others to view by sending them an email through Coggle.
6. All Coggle mind maps can be downloaded as PDFs or PNG image files.
7. You can also save and organize Coggle mind map files in your Google Drive account.

I have already try it and click here to see mind. If you still confuse to make it, click here to know the steps of making Coggle via YouTube video.

Next, can we use Coggle as our teaching media in English learning activity? Yes, you can use this kind of mind map to your teaching learning activity.
