Ideamapper joins Corporate Council for 2023-24

NYSCATE is pleased to welcome Ideamapper to the Corporate Council this year.  Ideamapper is a powerful “mind mapping” tool, which promotes development of critical thinking skills, collaboration, communication and strong writing skills across curriculum areas. “I think of Ideamapper as much more than just a writing tool” said Tom Whitby, co-creator of #Edchat and noted edtech author, blogger, and educator. “After teaching English for over 40 years, I have personally used mind mapping as a teaching strategy to help my students brainstorm, organize and present their thoughts on a wide range of subject areas. Simply said - it works.”

Ideamapper is used extensively in both education and business to brainstorm, organize thoughts, and write well-structured documents. It takes any project or paper from conception to completion. Visit https://www.ideamapper.com/  and explore the features and benefits of Ideamapper. Ideamapper will be presenting at the upcoming NYSCATE Annual Conference in November.
