Reflection-Mind Mapping

Challenge

Mind maps are my main learning and information gathering tool. I am currently in

university and designing this type of diagram is often a very practical way for me to be

able to organize all the knowledge that I acquire during classes; in order to be able to

have at hand all the different educational resources that revolve around the areas of

knowledge that I study.

Selection

I selected this tool, precisely because after thinking about it so much, I came to the

conclusion that definitely the best way for me to be able to understand what I do (and

make others understand it as well), is to rely on graphic and written resources, and I

believe that mind maps do that perfectly.

Application

I apply mind mapping almost daily, especially in theoretical subjects (such as

differential and integral calculus), which is generally very effective for me.

At first it was difficult for me to extract all the information, however later on, I was

able to improve my ability to ensure that my mental maps could solve the main

problem I had: acquiring knowledge during isolation by Covid-19.

Insight

I was able to learn a lot from the course, and complement my knowledge about what

mind mapping is too much, and understand that there are various applications in

addition to the ones I gave them, such as in business ideas, in flowcharts, in business

reports, etc...

Approach

From now on I could start looking for a way to relate all the concepts learned in terms

of design thinking and give it another approach that helps me acquire more

knowledge together with my colleagues, I am thinking that a great way to do it would

be by designing mind maps in collaboration.
