Their communication may look like this:



In detail everybody has some associations with single words.





You could share these associations, which doubles everyone's knowledge around this single word.



How to do this? Here is a suggestion:


 * 1) You take a single
 * 2) Everybody is writing a sentence. Always starting with

You should get something like this:

Person A: is ... Person B: looks like... Person C: has got the following functions . ..

An example how to set up linked words in a very easy way on a Windows XP machine with Open Office.

Picture 1: I want to connect the words: "Germany" and "France"



Picture 2: Click on "Germany". What information do I have in connection to this word?



Picture 3: Click on "France". France is related to Germany.



What about putting them both in a folder called "Europe"? Let's connect both together and write everything down to "Europe".
