Why use this youtube to mind map
Structure, not a timeline
A video hides its shape behind a progress bar. A tree shows you the whole thing at once.
Built from the captions
The branches follow the ideas the speaker actually covered, and how they relate.
Good before or after
Read it first to know where the video is going, or after, to check you kept the structure.
Then make it editable
Sign up free for an interactive map you can expand, collapse, and add your own branches to.
Who it's for
Students
See how the parts of a lecture connect, instead of ending up with a flat page of bullet points.
Visual learners
Get the shape of a topic on one screen, which is easier to hold than 40 minutes of talking.
Teachers
Map a video you plan to assign, then use the branches as the outline for your own lesson.
