Organizing ideas is easier than ever with Gynzy’s new Mind Map tool. You can now click on any element and drag from the side dots to instantly create linked text boxes. It’s a flexible, visual way to structure concepts—perfect for brainstorming, planning, and deepening understanding.

What the Mind Map tool does

With this tool, you can:

  • Click any element to reveal connection points

  • Drag a dot to create a new, connected text box

  • Organize and move items freely around the board

This makes it intuitive to build ideas step by step—visually and interactively.

Why this is helpful in the classroom

Mind mapping supports critical thinking and active learning. With this tool, you can:

  • Break down complex topics into clear parts

  • Show relationships between ideas

  • Encourage students to organize their thinking visually

It’s also great for group activities and discussions on the board.

Practical classroom examples

Brainstorm story ideas together
Start with a central theme like “summer vacation,” then branch out to characters, settings, and events as students contribute.

Explore topics in science or social studies
Use the Mind Map tool to map parts of a plant, causes of a historical event, or stages in the water cycle. It helps students see how concepts connect.

Built for the interactive whiteboard

The Mind Map tool is designed for use on the board with students. It’s touch-friendly, encourages collaboration, and helps make learning visual and engaging.
