Mind mapping is a quick, fun way to organize thoughts or take notes. Using mind maps can help visual learners "see" concepts and help all students make connections between concepts. Mind maps are thinking tools that help you process and document information or ideas. Mind maps can be used as a pre-writing activity, a quick formative assessment, an assessment of prior knowledge or an exit ticket. It is a great way help students show what they know. Tony Buzan popularized the mind map concept and he claims that students recall much more when using visuals, color and images. Thus, it is good practice to show students how to use a few features before setting them off to mind map.
I chose to show Mind Mup because it is integrated nicely with Google Drive so students can save their mind maps right to their drive and share with student collaborators and teachers easily within their mind map. See my tutorial for Mind Mup below along with another video giving ideas for mind mapping for studying and research.
