Is it a good fit for your task?

Choose it when…

Generating questions and alternative directions at the start of a unit.

Consider another approach when…

Treating branch order or proximity as proof of a scientific relationship.

A practical first workflow

Build and critique a visual inquiry map rather than accepting its first suggested structure.

Have this ready

Choose a central inquiry question and have a trusted reference for checking concepts.

  1. Create a mind-map node containing the inquiry question.
  2. Select the node and use the AI sparkle control to generate suggested branches.
  3. Add a manual question node to narrow one branch, then generate a further level.
  4. Delete repetitive ideas, move misplaced branches and rewrite vague labels.
  5. Check key concepts against a trusted reference and mark which branches remain questions to investigate.
You’ll have: A teacher-edited inquiry map with useful questions and checked concept labels.

Try this example

Use this sample prompt or task input as a starting point. Adapt the subject and level to your learners.

Central node: “How could our fictional school reduce wasted water?” Add a follow-up node asking “What could we measure before choosing a solution?” Keep measurement questions separate from proposed interventions.

Check your result before sharing

Watch for plausible but false connections and missing perspectives. Label the map as an initial brainstorm until evidence supports its claims.

Generated branches are ideas to evaluate; check factual relationships and add sources yourself.

Other activities to explore

Keep the official guide beside you

Menus and included features can vary by account or plan. Use the provider’s instructions if your screen differs.

This workflow is an editorial suggestion based on documentation, not a hands-on test or a claim of learning gains. Check school approval, current pricing, and student account eligibility before a classroom rollout. Use public or permitted samples and keep identifiable student information out of unapproved services.
