思維導圖又叫心智圖，是表達發射性思維的有效的圖形思維工具 ，它簡單卻又極其有效，是一種革命性的思維工具。思維導圖運用圖文並重的技巧，把各級主題的關係用相互隸屬與相關的層級圖表現出來，把主題關鍵詞與影象、顏色等建立記憶連結，思維導圖充分運用左右腦的機能，利用記憶、閱讀、思維的規律，協助人們在科學與藝術、邏輯與想象之間平衡發展，從而開啟人類大腦的無限潛能。思維導圖因此具有人類思維的強大功能。

Exploratree is a free web resource where you can access a library of ready-made interactive thinking guides, print them, edit them or make your own. You can share them and work on them in groups too.

The Exploratree web resource has been developed by Futurelab and emerged out of our work on the Enquiring Mindsproject. It provides a series of ready-made interactive ‘thinking guides’ or ‘frameworks’ which can support students’ projects and research.

Thinking guides support the thinking or working through of an issue, topic or question and help to shape, define and focus an idea and also support the planning required to investigate it further. Exploratree guides can be used as a basis for whole class discussion, or emailed to individuals or groups to complete.

They can also be used as a presentation tool to share your findings and thinking with others. As well as providing a set of ready to use thinking guides, which are completely customisable and shareable, Exploratree also enables teachers and students to create their own simply and easily.
