Differentiation
This app can allow for differentiated instruction by allowing for students to use create a mind map that best fits their needs. Whether they need more or less information for their map, they can customize their own information. If they need to make a list that details out multiple sections and lists or they can use quick short links asa quick reminders. It can also be used to create multiple projects. If a student needs to make a poster rather than a paper, this app can help the student create a number of different projects.
Curriculum Connections
MindMeister does not really help teach any lesson. However, it could be used by the teacher to help a student better understand a lesson and the connections that it has within it. This app can best be used by the student to apply their knowledge rather than learning it.
Publishing
The student can use this app to help create a finished product, though I could not see them publishing the original mind map that they made. This is more of a tool, rather than the book, such as the Book Creator app.
Authenticity
This app may only be used for different areas of school work, though there is a wide range of ways that this could be used. Mind mapping can be a useful organization tool and help students to work out their thoughts for papers or projects and even be used for notes. It may not be helpful to the students outside of the classroom, but it can be used throughout the students' career.
Personalization
The app has a range of options available to personalize and customize different aspects of the app. From changing the background and colors to importing personal photos and videos. Some of these personalizations only come with the actual purchase of the app rather than the original free version.
