Welcome to Wikiversity. I wonder if you have any ideas about how to categorize Mind Mapping. Would you say it is "learning theory"? Maybe it could be linked to from Portal:Education and School:Education. --JWSchmidt 17:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, that sounds like a great idea to me. I would categorize Mind Mapping foremost as an visual organizing tool, that of course can be applied to learning and that has definite advantages over normal notetaking. I think the categories you propose are correct, but surely they are not complete. Mind Mapping is a technique that can be applied to so many areas beside education (like for example business) that it would be inapropiate to put it just in one category. The only school name that I could come up with would be a new one and be something like Information Management.

But since I believe that one subject can have many categories, yours would definetely be correct and necessary. I have however no idea how to put this subject into a category or school. Is it simply the Category: text that I have to put on the page? And secondly I ought to edit the Schools pages to incorporate a link to the subject, no?


 * Go to the Mind Mapping page. Click on the red link for "Mind Mapping" where it says "Category: Mind Mapping" at the bottom of the page. You should then be shown an edit box for "Editing Category:Mind Mapping". You can type in things like and then save that page. That will make "Category: Mind Mapping" a sub-category of the Education category. Yes, feel free to make "Category: Mind Mapping" a sub-category of many other categories. Also, feel free to make links to the Mind Mapping page by editing other pages such as Portal:Education and School:Education. --JWSchmidt 16:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
