By connecting ideas through different structures and branches, students uncover new connections and discover new ideas and reasonings, a process known as ideation. For example, students can make mind maps to help with their thought processes (as is the case when writing to think). Hence the reputation of mindmaps as thinking tools that boost memory, creativity and productivity.įor us in education, mindmaps are important learning tools that can be used in many different ways.
When you make a mind map, you only focus on what is important when you cut through the clutter and make room for more ideas to sprout out of the captured connections and interrelationships. Briefness, clarity and brevity are mindmapping characteristics. It is a mental heuristic that helps us capture and organize our ideas and thoughts in a more structured and organized form.
A mind map, as AYOA defines it, is a ‘visual thinking tool used to capture information and ideas’.
