I downloaded and installed Kidspiration, Inspiration, Xmind and OpenOffice on a computer.
The mind mapping tools Kidspiration and Inspiration appeared to be easy enough to use for the intended age groups. Xmind was easy to use and made mind mapping a quick operation. I don't have much experience with mind mapping and believe that I will need to go into a project with a list of keywords and thoughts. But then again mind mapping tools are supposed to be used for collaborative brainstorming.
OpenOffice is easy to install and use but why do it when tools like MS WebApps and Google Docs are available in the Cloud, don't require loading software, and provide storage of files and folders.
I would opt for OpenOffice only on computers at home that didn't have an internet option.
