4. Do ´s and Don´ ts

Do´s and Don´ts

Do´s:

•       Be careful  what is the purpose of your usage of the Mindomo tool – choose appropriate version (online or desktop,  also pay attention  who it is for - student, teacher, free user, subscribtion, premium... as there are limits for the each one, e.g. in the number of templates allowed to use, or themes and the most importantly - pricing)

•     Provide brief explanation of tool and show its features to your students before you start working with it ( it is not always easy to follow the instructions)

•     Use shortcut keys provided  here to help you to work as efficient and fast as you want     

            ( also take advantage of saving your work automatically  in online version)

•    Give clear directions on how to interact with your content by providing simple instructions

•       If  used it in class, be sure to check the internet connection as it recquires the strong one for effective use  

•      Embed links, videos, and additional information to enhance the user experience  

            ( test these external links in advance to ensure they work properly)

•      Use all of its features and also all your older works to create next samples – it allows you to be more effective, creative and time-saving for the other work you have to do

•      Make your students use it online in a real time  – share your sample and provide time to work on it for them  and then see and discuss the result

Don´ts: 

•    Avoid using low quality pictures or videos for bettter visual experience  

•      Do not use too much information in your content to avoid distraction of students

•     Don't always rely on templates presented there because it doesn ´t have to suit for your lesson – use your own   if it is possible (try to make them in advance)

•       Avoid rapid clicking which may result in confussion for both sides –  a teacher and also students
