MindMeister Update #1

Ever since computers and many others forms of technology were introduced to education learning has been irrevocably changed.  Students more and more turn to search engines like Google or Bing for homework help instead of going to their teachers, asking other students, or even more unlikely opening up a book.  Since this trend is an unstoppable force of nature, schools incorporated this technology into learning and revolutionized the way classes are held.  No longer are students solely researching topics from books, or taking notes off of the board.  Students in today's society have a multitude of niches to find this information.

By using tools such as MindMeister teachers are able to conduct lectures in a manner in which students will more likely be interested because a computer is involved.  MindMeister at its core is a fancy online note-taking assistant which allows ideas, thoughts, and concepts to be laid out in a neat and organized fashion.  With this organization no longer will mindless doodles occupy the same space as the hard hitting concepts of Physics, or Computer Science.  If professors utilized this tool and made students map out chapters of their textbooks these classes would have multiple maps containing the very tools to success.
