Mind mapping in education

This mind map was made with the help of bubble.us. (/bubbl.us/)

A mind map is a diagram used to visually organise information. A mind map is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank landscape page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those.

Mind maps can be drawn by hand (using felt pens on blank paper), either as "rough notes" during a lecture, meeting or planning, for example, or as higher quality pictures when more time is available.

It can be used in the class as one of the best ways of visualizing and making the information easier for students to understand.
