Via Fiona (Austhink's Education Coordinator):
- Startup screen is great, but how do I get it back?
- Spell-check please!
- Some well-heeled schools are getting the powerful combo of tablet PCs for staff and all students in conjunction with a projector (in preference to smart-boards)
- Text pane open/close button goes missing
- Some lap-tops have neither mice nor track-pads, making dragging of maps painful
Observations:
- Many (most?) secondary-school students kick off an argument map with a question
- Often encouraged to do so by their teachers
- Students asking for links between boxes -- other than hierarchical relationships -- within a map
- Kids are becoming more visual and audial
- Connection to the synthesizing mind and the disciplined mind in Howard "multiple intelligences" Gardner's latest opus, Five Minds for the Future.
Other positives:
- .NET is becoming more pervasive (as more products require it)
- Installation process is smooth
