==== Creating a map ====
To learn working with Freeplane, you should first develop a concept map for any topic you want to develop a resource on. When you open Freeplane, the application opens a window with a box containing the text "New mindmap". This node, also called the "root node" will contain the core idea/ theme of the resource. Additional ideas are added by adding more nodes, called child nodes. The concept map gets built by adding further child nodes, for topics and sub-topics. Use the ‘insert’ key to create a ‘child node’ this is a sub-concept of your current concept. Use the ‘enter’ key to create a ‘sibling’ this is a parallel concept to your current concept. Thus you can create a concept map <br>[[File:Conceptmap2.png|left|thumb|400x450px|Image 9 - Creating the node tree for a concept map]] <br>

Use the ‘insert’ key to create a ‘child node’ this is a sub-concept of your current concept. Use the ‘enter’ key to create a ‘sibling’ this is a parallel concept to your current concept. Thus you can create a concept map with knowing just two functions – add child node (insert) and add sibling node (enter). The ideas you have about the topic, the sequencing of ideas and sub concepts, the specific points for each idea / sub-concept can be developed on the map.[[File:Conceptmap2.png|left|thumb|400x450px|Image 9 - Creating the node tree for a concept map]]
