Reflective bubbl.us

Bubbl.us is essentially a lightweight but effective mind mapping tool that is available online. Is in't free but it is cheaper than some more developed software of this type. If you find mind mapping helpful then this tool may be of use. I see the benefit of digital mind mapping over analogue being that, amongst other things, your mind maps can become huge and complex whilst still being easy to read and manipulate as well as being able export them in to software such as Microsoft Word and have it reformatted in to a different shape, This can be great for writing large complex works. Personally in my own practise I already use MindView which though more expensive is much more comprehensive. Therefore personally, bubble.us isn't something I will use but I can image others using it to help plan and organise themselves.

Microsoft applications

The main MS applications I use are Word and Powerpoint. I have had to use these at Uni and have only used them minimally but they have proven to be useful. I find them fairly user-friendly but ultimately barely know how to use them. Recent knowledge of Words ability to compile and place my references has come as a pleasant surprise, as has the fact that this feature is not available on the mac version, thanks Microsoft.
