NovaMind, producer of Mind Mapping for both education and business use, today announced that they have joined the Memory4Teachers initiative which will provide teachers with a range of educational resources and software applications, as well as data storage on 2GB USB keys which will be given away free to 750,000 teachers across the UK. “NovaMind have been involved in education for the last 7 years, and being able to help out so many teachers with NovaMind Mind Mapping software is like a dream come true for us”, said Gideon King, founder of NovaMind, and internationally recognized expert on Mind Mapping. Gideon King is also the author of the seminal work on the use of Mind Mapping in education, “Teacher’s guide to Mind Mapping”, and says “The effectiveness of Mind Mapping in education has been repeatedly proven, both in the effective presentation of information, memorization, study and research. Specific techniques can be used to engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning simultaneously, leading to much improved comprehension and retention of the information.” NovaMind has a number of unique features which make it ideal for education, like the ease of creating visually stunning Mind Maps, rainbow coloring, flexible branches, and an all time favourite with the students; the Suggesterator, which suggests new directions for thinking based on the existing content of the Mind Map. It also has the ability to print out Mind Maps without the text on the branches so that students can fill it in with their own keywords for better memorization of the material, and again when revising, starting with the blank Mind Map structure gives visual and spacial cues which have been proven to significantly improve the recall of the actual content. NovaMind is dedicated to providing the best of Mind Mapping software and educational resources for teachers across the UK through the Memory4Teachers system, and will also be making educational videos available to the teachers and students to further enhance their effectiveness through the use of Mind Mapping and related thinking techniques and tools. Since 1998, RGS Media Group has been working with the public, voluntary and private business sectors providing creative and cost efficient media solutions specifically within the UK education sector. The Memory4Teachers memory sticks are an extension of this dedication to the education industry, showing yet another initiative which will help teachers significantly through the free storage space, integrated software and resources. The memory sticks are password secure and are preloaded with a fully interactive control panel, a diary, timetable and lesson plans as well as offering support for all national curriculum subject areas. The memory sticks also provide teachers with direct access to recommended educational websites. About NovaMind NovaMind is in use in over 90 countries and is available in 10 different languages.
