Mind Mapping

Challenge and Selection

The tool I am using for this assignment is Mind Mapping. Mind Mapping is a tool that is used to create an outline for long-form writing or to plan a presentation. It is one powerful tool that is used to make classroom more interactive and interesting. Here, as an example, I would take my classroom as an example. Faculty is conducting a subject and he wants to make the classroom more interesting and interactive. Mind Mapping will help in this time. It will help the students add on several points to a subject. Creating visual connections among the lecture topics is a helpful learning activity that confirms student understanding and promotes the transfer of knowledge. Creating visual connections among the main concepts can help students achieve meaningful learning and integrates new information into their existing knowledge.

Application

I would like to apply the Mind Mapping method with the help of following points

 Organize knowledge with Mind Mapping

Here, if a student lists out one points, then the other students in the

class can get all related points in the subject matter of discussion. This helps in having a flow in the subject.

 Simplify note taking

In Mind Mapping, simple and effective notes can be written down in

a neat and timely manner. These notes can be referred for future purposes.

 Promote Innovation and Creativity

Mind Mapping promotes students to bring their innovative ideas,

which in turn boosts their confidence. Once they get a small base, they can develop better points and develop a bigger idea.

 Self-Assessment with Mind Map

Mind Map puts us in a situation where we get to know, where do we

stand. It gives us a chance to improve ourselves and it brings the best out of the person.

Insight and Approach

I would give my insight that mind map is very effective tool. There will be a boring subject for every course, which the student would be least interested in. When a class does Mind Mapping related to the subject, it makes the class more interactive and more interesting. If we compare it to a class which does not do mind mapping, the students of that class having for the same subject would feel less satisfied with the subject. Mind Mapping, as discussed above brings out creative ideas and innovates our thinking to a different level. With Mind Mapping in, the students would feel more positive in their approach towards the subject, and they will get an in depth understanding related to the subject.

The approach that I would recommend is – Do Mind Map and explore each and every subject that is put across you. It will help us to gain more knowledge of the subject and make it more interesting.
