Have you ever studied a subject or brainstormed an idea, only to find yourself with pages of information, but no clear view of how it fitted together?
This is where Mind Mapping can help me and my students .
Mind Mapping is a useful technique that helps students to learn more effectively, improves the way that students record information, and supports and enhances creative problem solving.
By using Mind Maps, my students can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject. Students can see the way that pieces of information fit together, as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes.
More than this, Mind Maps help students remember information, as they hold it in a format that their mind finds easy to recall and quick to review.
Mind Maps are more compact than conventional notes, often taking up one side of paper. This helps students to make associations easily, and generate new ideas. If students find out more information after they have drawn a Mind Map, then students can easily integrate it with little disruption.

More than this, Mind Mapping helps my students break large projects or topics down into manageable chunks, so that students can plan effectively without getting overwhelmed and without forgetting something important.
I think a good Mind Map shows the "shape" of the subject, the relative importance of individual points, and the way in which facts relate to one another. This means that they're very quick to review, as students can often refresh information in their mind just by glancing at one. When created using colors and images or drawings, a Mind Map can even resemble a work of art!
Mind Maps are useful for:
· Summarizing information, and note taking.
· Consolidating information from different research sources.
· Thinking through complex problems.
· Presenting information in a format that shows the overall structure of your subject.
· Studying and memorizing information
