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.
Use of Mind Mapping:
taking notes in meetings;
generating ideas and thinking creatively;
planning projects, organizing processes, tracking
progress; preparing a presentation or essay/report;
learning/studying – note taking, review, recall and
exam preparation; decision making - prioritizing,
clarification e.g. solving problems;

Mind Mapping Strategies for Teachers
Pr-class:
Planning:
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.
In-class:
1-Teaching:
Online Mind Maps can be used in class to
brainstorm and generate discussions. This will
encourage students to
participate but also to fully
understand a topic and its nuances by
creating
connections between ideas.
2-Hand-outs:
Mind Maps that have been created online can
easily be printed and shared with students. Notes
in the Mind Map can
built on by students in class
3-Presentations:
A brilliant way to develop student’s
communication
skills is through presentations. However, students
can
easily become bored listening to others present.
Mind Maps act as visual
information providers and
encourage the audience to engage with the
material
that is being presented. Easily create an interactive
Mind Map
online with this free Mind Mapping tool,
(Exam Time).
4-Creativity:
Essentially a Mind Map is a blank canvas; why
not
have some fun in your classroom? Get the creative
juices flowing by
throwing your students a silly idea
and asking them how this can be
achieved. Not only
will this exercise encourage creativity, but it will
also
help students think for themselves and have some
fun with it!
5-Learning:
Mind Maps have been embraced in the realm of
education as a learning tool which help students
reinforce knowledge by
making connections
between different areas and delving in-depth
into an
area.
Outside class:
1-Collaboration:
The new generation of “Digital Citizens” are
highly
adaptable to change and expect to use technology
as part of
their education. Students can easily work
together on group projects or
assignments using
free online study tools such as (Exam Time) where
you can
share your Mind Map with friends or a
group of people.
2-Assessment:
A great way to use Mind Maps for assessment is
to
ask students to express their ideas about a topic in
a Mind Map
before and after a class. Students will
retain the information better
and it will also reassure
teachers that students remember and understand
the knowledge.
3-Comprehension:
Analyzing study material by reflecting on
what you
