MIND MAPPING

Challenge and selection:

Mind Mapping is a great tool that I use most of the times. I used to teach the students

from age 6 to 10. Keeping the student's attention in the classroom has its challenges.As

the present-day children live in a high speed, constantly evolving, digital world. And that

world affects what they pay attention to and how they learn, according to Psychology

today. So, I have to come with new approaches in teaching to help students absorb new

information.one of that is mind mapping.

Mind mapping is a form of organizing information visually. I start with a broad concept

that branches out into other topics and terms that are related to it. Mind maps are

effective learning tools because they’re interactive and visual.

Application

I have created a mind map to depict how a concept breaks down into its parts, what those

parts mean and how they tie into each other. This approach helps students understand

new things in ways that make sense to them, allowing them retain new information for

much longer.

A digital mind map gets created on a computer or mobile device with an online design

tool. The traditional approach to mind mapping is essentially drawing mind maps by hand

on paper, the blackboard or a whiteboard. Traditional mind mapping is still useful

because it can be done at any time, allowing students to take notes, brainstorm on the

spot, collaborate with their peers, and more.

I choose traditional approach to mind mapping so that they can easily understand the

concepts.

Insight and Approach

Yeah, this helped my students to learn new concepts very easily and helped them to

express themselves in an unstructured way, even if they’re working on something

straightforward. Activities that aren’t necessarily exciting for students, like creating a to-

do list or self-reflecting, are a lot more engaging when students are allowed to be creative.

This outlet for creative expression helped students connect with their work, remember

what they’re learning, and kept them engaged. It also deviated them from the structure

built into most learning environments.

Since I discovered that mind mapping is a great tool to make concepts clear for my

students and also improves my teaching, next time I use it in a more effective way than

now which would be very helpful for my teaching.
