How to Mind Map: A Beginner's Guide

Khan Academy How are you coping with life’s endless problems? When things are going well most of us feel on top of the world. We’re full of confidence and optimism, in fact we feel unstoppable, steadfast and strong. However, these feelings are often short-lived because as unexpected problems arise we begin to question our own abilities, which leads to stress, doubt, overwhelm and pessimism. Going back to our cave-dwelling days we either had the choice to fight when danger arose, or we would instead choose to run the opposite way. Unfortunately in this day and age we are not naturally hardwired to deal with pressure situations in an effective and efficient way. Today the fight-flight response doesn’t work so well in the modern world, and yet this doesn’t seem stop many of us from reacting to unexpected problems and pressure situations as our cave-dwelling ancestors did hundreds of thousands of years ago.

ScreenDraw: Whiteboarding with Camtasia Studio At a conference I attended this summer, a few math teachers were discussing their options for recording hand-written lessons. I asked if they had tried using ScreenDraw, a live annotation tool built into the Camtasia Studio recorder. Most of them didn’t even know it was there – and I wondered how many other users had yet to discover it! The short video below provides some popular use cases for ScreenDraw as well as instructions for setting it up. A couple of notes before you watch: The video shows the use of a pen-based graphics tablet. Can’t view the embedded video?
