Transno is a new service with which you can write notes and overviews with just one click, which can then be converted into mind maps and flow charts. It reminds me of the old Text2MindMap service that I used to use. Transno is better because it offers a variety of styles for mind maps and flow charts, while Text2MindMap only offered one. Transno also supports collaboration by allowing you others to edit and add your notes. In the following video I show how Transno works.

Thanks to Larry Ferlazzo for sharing Transno in his weekly Ed Tech Digest.
Applications for education
What I like about Transno is that it can be used by students who like to view their notes as contours, and by students who prefer to see their notes in mindmaps to see the connections between subjects. Transno’s option to quickly change the style of the displayed mind map can also be useful for showing students connections between topics. And for students who need a little help in taking notes, Transno offers some templates to follow.
