Mindomo

Mindomo is a cross platform, mindmapping app. You can create three mindmaps for free. However by syncing with your Google Account you can create a .pdf (By hitting print) or .png file of them at any time during the process and keep creating unlimited mindmaps. I recommend having yoru students title their first Mindomo with their name/class. This way you will know who turned in what mindmap.
