MindMup is an easy-to-use, web-based mind-mapping software.
To begin click MindMup, and you will be taken directly to the software’s website. You will be greeted with a StartUp menu. However, if you are not, simply click the MindMup logo in the top left of the screen and you will be taken there. Click the “Create a New Map” icon. You can go back later and click the “Learn how to…” icon if you would like to learn the intricacies of the program. After you click the “Create a New Map” icon you will be taken to a menu that asks what type of map you’d like to create. Repeat this process until you have a mind map that contributes to your mental clarity, then click the “File” button in the top left of the screen and choose to save, export, or share your brand-new mind map!
