At first when I looked at this article after reading Mel’s Blog I was disappointed. I had been expecting lots of innovative ideas for the use of mind maps. I love using mind maps so this was an exciting prospect for me. I opened the article and started reading. It wasn’t a bad article or anything it was actually really good for reinforcing Papert’s theory of constructionism, but I’d already read successful stories on the implementation of constructionism and I wanted something else.

Then I came to the end and discovered a very plain but simultaneously beautiful graph. Like some digital epiphany as mentioned in the previous article, I discovered a list of resources (limited) with a description of where they are best implemented in the digital discovery and creation process. It was a exciting to find this because I feel like I have come to understand many of the different resources out there but I wasn’t really sure what the most productive use of them was and now I know that if I feel unsure I can always come back to this article as a reminder.
