WHAT IS MIND MAPPING? Mind mapping is the process of creating a
visual display of a concept using symbols, images, colors, and key words.
Mind Maps demonstrate how words and ideas relate to each other.
WHY MIND MAP? Mind Maps: Encourage creativity. Promote visual thinking skills. Contextualize learning in meaningful ways. Promote active involvement. Foster Cooperative Learning. Assist ALL students in learning concepts and
vocabulary because information is presented visually.
BRAIN COMPATIBLE LEARNING Mind mapping closely mirrors our naturalthinking processes. It involves the whole brain because both left and right hemispheres of our brain are involved.
IMPROVED COMPREHENSION To create a mind map, students must be able
to make content connections and make content connections and make content connections and make decisions about how to display the information in a meaningful way.
MEMORY Since mind maps symbolize concepts with
short, easy-to-remember visual and linguistic cues, students are able to remember more of what they see and draw than what they read and hear.
ELL STUDENTS Information is presented visually rather than
verbally therefore assisting ELL students in grasping concepts, content, and vocabulary.
MIND MAPPING GUIDELINES Start in the center with an image of the topic,
using at least 3 colors.
USE IMAGES, SYMBOLS, CODES, AND DIMENSIONS THROUGHOUT YOUR MIND MAP.
EACH WORD/IMAGE IS BEST ALONE AND SITTING ON ITS OWN LINE.
MAKE THE LINES THE SAME LENGTH AS THE WORD/IMAGE THEY SUPPORT.
Use multiple colors throughout the mind map, for visual stimulation and also to encode or group.
THE LINES SHOULD BE CONNECTED, STARTING FROM THE CENTRAL IMAGE. THE CENTRAL LINES ARE THICKER,
ORGANIC AND THINNER AS THEY RADIATE OUT FROM THE CENTER.
KEEP THE MIND MAP CLEAR BY USING RADIAL HIERARCHY, NUMERICAL ORDER OR OUTLINES TO
EMBRACE YOUR BRANCHES.
USE EMPHASIS AND SHOW ASSOCIATIONS IN YOUR MIND MAP.
Develop your own personal style of mind mapping & be creative!
INCORPORATE BYOD
MAKING YOUR OWN MIND MAP
