Teaching
Teaching is one of the most difficult tasks in the world. It's no secret that there is a range of learning styles. Many teachers find that their teaching style doesn't match the learning style of some of their students.
Mind
Using Mind to prepare and present lessons can have a powerful effect on your students. While the lesson presentation follows your natural teaching style, students can create a mind map that matches their learning style.
Lectures
Many teachers and lecturers are already adapting mind mapping to create powerful classroom presentations, innovative handouts, and an unforgettable experience for their students.
Mind Maps
Others are using advanced mind maps to tackle larger classroom projects like innovative long range educational planning or weekly lesson management that really meets the needs of individual students.

| 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.

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, colour, images, dimension and day dreaming.

pens. There is another electronic mind-map. It is called Free-mind map
program. A Mind Map uses four key characteristics:
