Buzan’s iMindMap for Education can now be bought by English schools with their
e Learning Credits (eLCs). This allows schools to buy multi user or site licenses
under the Government’s eLC scheme, give a whole generation of children the opportunity
to improve their thinking skills.
e Learning Credits are ring fenced funding from the government to all schools in England.
This money is allocated to schools to be spent on educational software to support the
teaching of the curriculum in England. Curriculum Online who manage the scheme have allocated
schools over £500m since the project started, all of which has encouraged IT and multimedia
in schools.
Curriculum Online have approved the newly released version of Buzan’s iMindMap so that all
schools can now purchase the software with their eLCs. Buzan’s iMindMap for Education unites
a creative thinking tool that harnesses the brain friendliness and visual appeal of highly
proven Mind Mapping techniques for teaching and learning across the curriculum, and curriculum
resources for both teachers and students.
The product is unique because it is the only Mind Mapping product officially endorsed by
Tony Buzan (the inventor of Mind Maps) and that effectively duplicates his world renowned process
for unlocking the potential of the brain. Its flexibility makes it suitable for all subjects and
age groups and it can be used in whole class settings on an Interactive Whiteboard or for
group/individual study.

resources for both teachers and students. The resources consist of:
