Thinking Maps® Software
With our software, students and teachers can use the computer to reap the benefits of Thinking Maps®. This Windows® or Macintosh® compatible software package reinforces Thinking Maps® while providing computer-based activities for students!

|
With over 80 tutorials and exercises, students can practice the proper use of the maps, while the software's ability to build maps from scratch allows students to customize the maps to their lesson requirements.
The tutorials allow students to construct their maps in the map window as they respond to prompts in the directions window
|
While still viewing the completed map, students can activate the writing window allowing them to put their thoughts into words and to produce a completed document. Students can also learn basic computer skills, such as using the mouse to point and click, saving and printing work, formatting text, and more. The software loads easily onto most hardware configurations.
