What is a Mind Map?
• A mind map is a diagram used to represent: – Words– Ideas– Tasks– Or other items linked to and arranged
around a central theme.
• In a Mind Map, information is structured in a way that resembles closely how the brain actually works.
• Tony Buzan states, ““…the ultimate organizational thinking tool –the Swiss army knife of the brain! (Tony Buzan, “the ultimate book of mind maps”, pg. 6)
Let’s Try an Experiment!
• I will now give you 15 words.
• Do NOT write the words down. Just listen.
• When I finish saying the words, I’ll ask you to write down as many as you can remember.
• Then we’ll get to the fun part!
What Happened?
• We often can’t trust our own brains!
• Memories are not always real.
• Has this ever happened to you?
• Mind maps help us organize our thoughts in ways that make sense.
• Cave Drawings
• Tree Brains. Branches = Dendrites
• Maps = Guides
How Does Our Brain Work?
• Helps you to think visually
• Create better learning experiences
• Chunk up information
• Plan and Analyze
Why Should Instructional Designers Care About Mind Maps?
• Ease of use• Focus• Time saved (50 –95%) using key words• Increased Retention and Recall• More creativity• Selling ideas more easily as it helps people to
visualize• Brain more alert and receptive, likes visual• Large volumes of information on one page
Some Additional Benefits of Mind Maps
Understanding Associations Using Mind Maps
• Central idea: – What word best describes
your main topic? Put it in the middle of the page.
• Main branches: – Start branching from the
central object preferably with a color to each branch
– Each branch represents association to the central idea
– Make 4 or 5 main branches attached to the central idea, each with a word and/or an image that best describes a main idea
– Emphasize important keywords
• Now put any words that occur to you on smaller branches attached to the appropriate main branch.
• If you need to, just put them in empty space and attach them later by drawing lines.
• Now put any images that occur to you on or near the smaller branches attached to the appropriate main branch.
The Mind Map Technique
• Use keywords
• Use images and Color
• Be clear
• Use arrows to link ideas
• Review your mind map…later
