What is a Mind Map? • Shows the ‘shape’ of the subject, the relative importance of individual points and the way in which one fact relates to others. • Is more compact than conventional notes, often taking up one side of paper. • Helps make associations easier. Dr. J. Mior
How to Do a Mind Map • Mind mapping (or concept mapping) involves writing down a central ideal and thinking up new and related ideas which radiate out from the centre. • By focusing on key ideas written down in your own words, and then looking for branches and connections between ideas, you are mapping knowledge in a manner which will help you understand and remember new information. Dr. J. Mior
Look for Relationships • Relationships are important in understanding new information. • By personalizing the map with your own symbols and designs you will be constructing visual and meaningful relationships between ideas which will assist in recall and understanding. Dr. J. Mior
