What is mind mapping?
Mind mapping is a way to visualize ideas, concepts, words, and so on, in a diagram. Mind maps can be created with pencil and paper, on the board, or with web applications and computer programs. Mind maps can be used in a variety of settings and for many purposes. They can be used to brainstorm, to plan (a paper, for example), and to aid in studying (vocabulary, plot structure, etc.). Mind maps are a great tool to use that will appeal to visual learners.
Here are some ideas for using mind maps in the classroom:
- mind map live, with student contribution
- make a mind map template for students to fill out
- have students work in groups to make digital mind maps
- convert handmade mind maps to digital ones
