Create and format a document in Word as before, choose File -> Save As and select MediaWiki* under file types. Word will now convert and save the document in Wiki style markup. It is supported on Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Office 2010. Reviewed by Amit Agwaral at Digital Inspiration

Thanks to Deirdre for pointing this out in the Images4Education Group.

"Text 2 Mind Map is a web application that converts texts to mind maps. It takes a structured list of words or sentences, interprets it, and draws a mind map out of them" (description below working display, above Hints for using it).

"This web page is for people interested in learning the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols. This is a useful skill for learners and teachers of English who may want to check the pronunciation of a word in a dictionary. Use the phonetic chart to learn the sounds of English. Then do a quiz to see how well you have learnt them" (The Phonetic Chart, ¶1).

Thanks for pointing this out! I've shared it forward already.

Is there something you want to get off your chest, but there is no way you are going to create a blog just for that, and a tweet would never convey what you need conveyed? Well, if that is ever the case a visit to Freedom Share is in order. This site will enable you to have texts typed and posted without needing to create any kind of account, or even authenticate who you are via Facebook or Google. The site is free and open to just any person who wants to use it, and we are also talking about a site that can be used by people who know nothing about coding. Reviewed by Larry Ferlazzo.
