Mind mapping is a graphical way to arrange a
topic onto a piece of paper. Visually, it looks very
much like a stylized spider-diagram', but
contains much more thought and care in it's
spatial arrangement.Mind mapping is a visual
form of note taking that offers an overview of a
topic and its complex information, allowing
students to comprehend, create new ideas and
build connections.
Through the use of colors, images and words,
mind mapping encourages students to begin with
a central idea and expand outward to more in-
depth sub-topics.The Mind Mapping Tool is a
designed to help students organize ideas, as
part of studying, conducting research, or
brainstorming. It uses a simple interface to
create graphical representations of linked
information.
What is a mind map?
A Mind Map is similar to a road map to help you on
your journey. It will provide an overview or overall
picture of a particular subject and help you plan
your route or choices.
The Mind Map stores large amounts of information
efficiently. It helps develop new brain skills, which
are often overlooked by traditional teaching
methods. A mind map is a visual representation of
hierarchical information that includes a central idea
surrounded by connected branches of associated
topics.
It is perfect for:
Brainstorming sessions
Visualizing concepts.
Improving critical thinking
reading and writing skills
Advanced research papers or graduate projects
How the brain links in with Mind Mapping
Mind Mapping uses the whole brain to help
generate ideas. The cerebral cortex (cerebrum)
of our brain, or 'thinking cap' as it is sometimes
called, consists of a left and right side.
The left side of the brain mainly focuses on words,
logic, lists, analysis and numbers, whereas the
right side of our brain focuses on such areas as
rhythm, imagination, color, images, dimension
and daydreaming.
How to Mind Map:
To create your first Mind Map, you will need a
large white plain sheet of paper and some colored
pens. There is another electronic mind-map. It is
called Free-mind map program.
A Mind Map uses four key characteristics:
Central image for the subject.
Main themes radiate from the central image.
Branches hold the key word/image.
Smaller branches form a connected structure.
Mind Mapping Strategies for Teachers
Whether its lesson plans, design of your class
curriculum for the school year or planning an
assignment timeline, Mind Maps give you a clear
and visual overview of what needs to be covered.
Organizing:
If you’re the type of person who regularly jots
down ideas and thoughts, Mind Maps are the
perfect tool to create structure and
organization of a topic.
