ODYSSEY Mind MAPS!
A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts. It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information, helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall and generate new ideas.
Just as in every great idea, its power lies in its simplicity.
In a mind map, as opposed to traditional note taking or a linear text, information is structured in a way that resembles much more closely how your brain actually works. Since it is an activity that is both analytical and artistic, it engages your brain in a much, much richer way, helping in all its cognitive functions. And, best of all, it is fun!
So, how does a mind map look like? Better than explaining is showing you an example.

CHECK THIS OUT- REWORDIFY!
Check out this new tech tool for reading! Neil Goldman, a high school special education teacher, has developed a site that allows you to enter complex text (or websites) and then "rewordify" it. The tool looks up all the difficult words immediately and replaces them with easier vocabulary. There are three different settings so that the user can choose how to view the altered sentences based on their preference.
