  1. Hi Heidi,

    How about adding this post to our class blog as well? Lovely!

  2. I have a mac and used the open source program "Xmind" to create the word webs... It's not the best program but it works... :-)

  3. Well, it certainly does the trick. I have decided to try out MindMeister, the free version. Looks promising.
