Just would like to thank MindJet, Note Talkers and all the sponsors for this wonderful contest. I encourage everyone to enter and submit their maps! It gives newbies an opportunity to really see what MindManager is all about and allows the pros to really stretch their brain to discover what creative and innovative things they can do with MindManager. Plus you could win one of those awesome packages; it really is a good deal all the way! Good Luck Everyone!

Re: Join the ResultsManager “meme”

Thanks for the link! Unfortunately I did not receive too much feedback but the meeting went very well and I was very happy with what we accomplished! My biggest goal was to learn how students can use ResultsManager since we don't have many long term "projects" (at least I don't) and thus creating a plan for example to do well in a single class is actually no more work than just making a list in MindManager alone. The biggest thing I learned is that ResultsManager is best when you have many projects going on that span many maps that have linked actions. Here ResultsManager allows you to automate the process of creating a to do list from the many thing you have going on. Finding a way to do this from a student's perspective takes some work but a lot of my initial frustrations were resolved and I can see many examples where in fact such an application would be quite beneficial. I think it really depends on the individual though and their current situation.

I'll post more later this weekend along with some examples!

Re: How I Convert Fellow Students to My Favorite Tools

Why does your story sound so familar...it's the same exact thing I do! Although word has spread basically though the entire biology department and I am now known as that guy with the Tablet PC so I don't get those ohhs and ahhs anymore. I find showing them how the audio syncs with my notes really gets them saying, "I need one of those!"

Cool to see other students getting the word out! Thanks for sharing!

Re: Site News: Contest Deadline Extended by 3 Weeks

Thank You! I don't know about any other students but these last few weeks have been crazy with it being the end of the semester and everything. In fact I've had no time to work on it this weekend since I have finals myself on Monday and Tuesday so having the extra time will now extend into a time frame where I won't be dealing with school and thus will have more time go over my submissions!
