What is Coggle?
It is a software program that allows us to create mind maps.

Strengths:

 * Very color mind maps can be created
 * Sign up is free
 * Files are saved automatically
 * You can zoom in and out of the mind map
 * Multiple keyboard shortcuts to create lists for the mind maps, which makes it quicker to create the mind map
 * Nodes can be inserted without have to re-do the mind map
 * Entire branches can be moved
 * You can share your Coggle with others to either view or edit
 * A chat box is also available
 * A help sheet is available
 * Images can be saved as PDF or as an image

Weaknesses:

 * It takes a while to figure out how to add branches and nodes
 * The texts are not in text boxes

Opportunities:

 * Teachers and students can create mind maps in Coggle
 * Students are no longer consumers but can be producers of technology
 * Mind maps can be shared among a class for group editing
 * Students can use Coggle to complete Group Projects

**Threats**:

 * After starting a mind map, you must finish it in order to export it. It cannot be saved.
 * All Coggles are saved as you make them! Visit http://coggle.it/ to see your list of diagrams.

Ideas:
In mathematics a mind map can be created for the different types of triangles and their properties. In English, a mind map can be created for an outline of an essay or short story.
