FreeMind


Well, this time I’d like to talk about a program that we had to use today and that I had never heard of before: “FreeMind”. 

It’s a really interesting program which creates mind maps or schemes in a really organized way. You can divide each point in several ones in an easy way and you can hide those points you don’t want to read at the moment and you can open them later (when you need to do so); so this way you don’t see a HUGE scheme with many different points which are also divided in many others, which may be also divided in many others, and so on... By the way you can open only the points or ideas you are interested in and you can hide them once you have read them, making it easier to read. 

In fact, I think it is quite useful and I may continue using it in the future. The only problem is that (obviously) you need to have the program installed in order to open a FreeMind file on your computer. Fortunately it’s free to download! But not everybody knows about it.

By the way, it is always interesting to know about new programs different from the typical Microsoft Office, which doesn’t mean that this last one isn’t good (because actually it’s really good); it’s just that they are different ways of doing things.
