Czechoslovakia 1938

Waid Academy students have been using mind mapping techniques for a number of years and other sample files are included in the History menu.
It is our intention to use version 8 to recreate mind maps previously produced on paper and to seek the students' views on this means of presenting information and using mind maps as a revision tool.
Credits: All the information for this subject has been provided in a PowerPoint file by Sandra Gilmartin of Waid Academy, Fife. The mind maps and other files have been created by Jim Birney as an introduction to students to the new features present in version 8.
