CREATING A MIND MAP

What is a mind map? 

A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and  concepts. It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information, helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize and generate new ideas.

In a mind map, information is structured in a way that resembles much more closely how your brain actually works. Since it is an activity that is both analytical and artistic, it engages your brain in a much, much richer way, helping in all its cognitive functions. And, best of all, it is fun!

And what can we use mind maps for?

• Note taking
• Brainstorming (individually or in groups)
• Studying and memorization
• Planning
• Researching and consolidating information.
• Presenting information
• Jogging your creativity

So, how does a mind map look like? 

Better than explaining is showing you an example. 

This tutorial shows you how to create a mind map using bubbl.us.

Now, it´s your turn!! Create a mind map!!

BUT REMEMBER...

How to Draw a Mind Map?

Drawing a mind map is as simple as 1-2-3:

• Start in the middle of a blank page, writing or drawing the idea you intend to develop. I would suggest that you use the page in landscape orientation.
• Develop the related subtopics around this central topic, connecting each of them to the center with a line.
• Repeat the same process for the subtopics, generating lower-level subtopics as you see fit, connecting each of those to the corresponding subtopic.

Some more recommendations:

• Use colors, drawings and symbols copiously. Be as visual as you can, and your brain will thank you. I’ve met many people who don’t even try, with the excuse they’re "not artists". Don’t let that keep you from trying it out!.
• Keep the topics labels as short as possible, keeping them to a single word – or, better yet, to only a picture. Especially in your first mind maps, the temptation to write a complete phrase is enormous, but always look for opportunities to shorten it to a single word or figure – your mind map will be much more effective that way.
• Vary text size, color and alignment. Vary the thickness and length of the lines. Provide as many visual cues as you can to emphasize important points. Every little bit helps engaging your brain.
