			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was invited by Smart to give a presentation in Iloilo. It&#8217;s for a seminar workshop for student journalists. My talk was about: &#8220;Basic Blogging for student journalists.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was a good interactive presentation. Got people on their feet. Presented some case studies, many of which are close to my heart. And we got people thinking about what they can do as student journalists in the blogging space. We answered questions and I hope all these have helped the audience take home something useful and actionable.</p>
<p>Now sharing this presentation on Basic Blogging for Student Journalists.</p>
<blockquote><p>This presentation provides case studies of how student journalists, professional journalists and citizen journalists can share their work through blogging.</p>
<p>Case studies include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Guidon &#8211; student paper of Ateneo de Manila University www.theguidon.com</li>
<li>The Philippine Online Chronicles &#8211; www.thepoc.net</li>
<li>Juanvote &#8211; www.juanvote.com</li>
<li>Citizen Journalist Ka Edong &#8211; www.edwinsoriano.com ; www.qik.com/ka_edong</li>
</ul>
<p>The presentation ends with a discussion on specific questions from students in Region 6  &#8211; questions that will help them take action towards blogging as a student journalist or as a citizen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mindmapping. I&#8217;ve heard a lot about it, I&#8217;ve read a lot about it, but I have limited knowledge or experience about it.</p>
<p>Today is a good day to start. After the jump, I&#8217;ll share where I&#8217;ve heard about mind-mapping, a few links on mind mapping, my first ever mind-mapping project which is open for everybody to add to. ;-)</p>
<p>Have you tried mind-mapping before? Click through and share.</p>
<p>And now, we ask, &#8220;Dude, where&#8217;s my mind?&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-181"></span></p>
<p><strong>Mind Map</strong> (from Wikipedia)<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.</p></blockquote>
<p>I first heard about mind mapping from my brother Elmer. His friends know mind mapping is something kelmer needs. He&#8217;s got so many ideas in his head, you&#8217;ll need a jungle knife to clear through all of the vines!</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><img title="Guru Mindmap from Wikipedia" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7f/Guru_Mindmap.jpg" alt="Guru Mindmap from Wikipedia" width="400" height="281" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Guru Mindmap from Wikipedia</p></div>
<p><a title="Steve Pavlina on Mind Mapping" href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums/personal-effectiveness/618-anyone-use-mindmaps.html">Steve</a> <a title="Steve Pavlina on Mind Mapping" href="http://lifehacker.com/software/how-i-work/how-i-work-steve-pavlina-172878.php">Pavlina</a> and <a title="Jack Canfield on Mind Mapping" href="http://jackcanfield.com/files/newsletter_archive/110608.htm">Jack Canfield</a> both recommend using Mind mapping. It&#8217;s useful for capturing ideas and even planning. My trainer and speaker friend <a title="Raju Mandhyan" href="http://www.mandhyan.com/">Raju</a> also teaches Mind Mapping (but hasn&#8217;t treated me to a seat in his training :D  hehehe&#8230;) .</p>
<p>I know I&#8217;ll find mindmapping useful. I&#8217;m an ideas person. Or in <a title="Clifton Strengths Finder" href="https://www.strengthsfinder.com/113647/Homepage.aspx">Strengths Finder</a> terms, one of my talents is &#8220;Ideation&#8221;.</p>
<p>I probably already use a form of mind mapping already. The most kindergarten form of mind mapping, perhaps, is having lists of things.</p>
<p>So when I stumbled upon <a title="http://www.mindmapinspiration.co.uk/" href="http://www.mindmapinspiration.co.uk/">Mindmapinspiration</a>, I took delight in reading through Paul Foreman&#8217;s website. He has many books on mindmapping. I downloaded a free printable e-book about how to draw a mindmap.</p>
<p>Today I tried out <a title="Mindmeister" href="http://www.mindmeister.com/">mindmeister.com</a> and finally got my hands dirty in creating my first mindmap. It&#8217;s intuitive, very easy to use. I just tried out the version history. It&#8217;s sooo cool, like watching my ideas being captured into visual form! So nice! (now how do i protect the versions?)</p>
<p>Visit my first Mind map Ever: <a href="http://www.mindmeister.com/16902736">Thoughts on My First MindMap Ever!</a></p>
<p>Maybe you can help me. I&#8217;m figuring out how I&#8217;d like to user mind mapping.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m inviting readers to play around with my mind &#8230; <a title="Ka edong's first mindmap" href="http://www.mindmeister.com/16902736">my mind map</a>, I mean :D . I&#8217;ve opened up my mind map to the public for anybody to add to. Let&#8217;s see how this experiment goes.</p>
