How did I
make these
slides:
First build a
mind map of
your talk
Play around
with it, move
the nodes
back and
forth
up and
down
promote and
demote
I made the
mind map
with
Freemind as
an desktop
app
or you can go to
Mindmup site
(www.mindmup.com)
for online app
On Mindmup,
you can convert
the nodes to
slides
And save the
slides as pdf
or ppt
