Advantages of ClaroIdeas

ClaroIdeas as a Learning Aid

By engaging students' interest and encouraging discussions and collaboration, using ClaroIdeas to create idea maps (commonly referred to Spider Diagrams or Mind Mapping) makes learning fun, whether in use at home or in the classroom. ClaroIdeas is a great addition to the interactive whiteboard toolkit, allowing lesson templates to be developed and delivered, or collaborative working in the classroom and ICT suite. Cost effective school site license options are available.

ClaroIdeas as part of an Assistive Learning Solution

ClaroIdeas is part of a study skills solution and can be used with other popular assistive software. Integration with ClaroRead Plus, the popular reading and writing tool, means Idea maps can be spoken out loud by your computer and checked for spelling errors. This enables dyslexic students to use ClaroIdeas with confidence.

Researched text, scanned papers and image content collected using ClaroCapture can be transferred to an Idea map with one quick click. This produces a visual representation of the researched content, supporting the research and study process. Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition and dictation software can be used to dictate text into ClaroIdeas when creating mind maps.

Using the Office 2007 style interface, combined with the export to Microsoft Word and PowerPoint functions, ClaroIdeas is both familiar and easy to use.
