You probably recognize the brand Mead from your school days. They manufacture paper supplies, notebooks, and Trapper Keepers, among other things. They’ve recently taken up the mantle of sustainability and launched an online mind-mapping application tool called simply MeadMap. MeadMap offers a collaborative note taking service with pre-made templates for students to organize their notes for study. The dashboard provides an array of tools available at the click of your mouse. Besides copy and paste tools, students can easily add topics and subtopics, they can insert icons, zoom in on a theme or focus on one topic, and add side notes. MeadMap supports up to 20 users and is available both off and online. It’s compatible with MS Word as well. MeadMap does offer a free 30 day trial version. Otherwise it costs $15 for 6 months.
