APPLICATION:t starts with a single idea that is represonted with text, color or image. Each

idea should be prosented with one single word and use visual elements to catogorize it such as,

upper an lower words, colors, codes and images.

More subsidiary ideas are added around the main idea and connect with it by lines. All the

branches should have connection lines that link it with the center idea

IN SIGHT:The most efficient methods to use to apply mind mapping is to use a normal white

board and drawing markers, this helps attendees to visually focus on each drawn shape.

However, mind mapping software and toos can provide more options that are not available in

the traditional ways. The results can be easily downloaded as an image or shared with other

applications such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Aditionally, mind mapping software

provides ready elements and clear text that can be easily followed by the attendees.

for the brainstorming sessions:

.Creately online mind mapping tool that provide mind mapping templates.

Text 2 Mindmap, free mind mapping tool that can easy create tree diagram using a

drag and drop function.

.Mind Genius, desktop mind mapping software that is compatible with Windows

computers and integrates with MS Office and MS Project
