Mind Mapping

Summarize the information you learned from the resources provided in this module about:

 A. The process of creating and completing a Mind Map So, after going to this website https://www.mindmeister.com/training/mind-mapping-101/9/how to-link-your-mind-maps this site explains the information on how to create a mind map. This process was easy to be able to read all of it and create and complete a mind map.

 B. Some benefits of using Mind Mapping tools in the classroom and ways that use of this tool supports learning. Some benefits of using mind mapping will allow students to be able to take the information and make connections by putting fewer words on a map with visuals to help students make connections.

 Using the online resource allows the students to interact with other students with the same mind map so many students can work together at the same time though out class. Educators can make mind maps with students on stories to learn the content, vocabulary, looking at topics and much more. Some other examples will include math, social studies, and science. A mind map can be used with all subjects. Mind maps help support the content that needs to be taught and allow students to take a lot of information and make it easier to remember.

 C. Some benefits of using Mind Mapping tools for work allow us to save time and improve the quality of our work. Mind maps allow us to make connections quicker and allow us to learn faster with more effectively. This allows us to take notes on the topic and focus more on what needs to be addressed and what needs to be addressed first.

4. Then, share details of the process that you went through to create your Mind Map. What went well? What did not go as planned?

Step one- I read all the information that needed to be read.

 Step two- I hit create a mind map.

 Step three- I chose my topic which was hard because there is so much that can be talked about and discussed. So, I allowed my children to choose a topic together and they chose Different types of camping.

 Step four- I Put a picture of a tent in the middle and used a few words to describe several types of camping. Step five- Several types of camping were listed, and pictures were added whether it was a RV, tent, or a large tent for many. Step six- detail had to be researched to explain each of them Step seven- details about the details were listed on some but could of keep going. Step eight- I took a screen shot to send to you for my assignment.

Some things that were easy are the fact that I was able to notice what to do on this site easily after reviewing the directions before making a mind map. Now if I had done that, I would have had to take it step by step to do this assignment which was also included if needed with this site but would have taken a lot longer to complete this assignment. Some things that would have been a little easier would have been if the computer had saved everything but when I had clicked on something by accident It dawned on me that I had to redo a lot of the work. The hardest part was the research but because it was a mind map it made it easier to put all the data together to explain each type of camping.

Is mind mapping helpful for students? Why or why not? Yes, mind mapping is helpful for students. Some reason that it is helpful for students is that this allows students to work together on a topic or project.

Another thing that mind mapping does is that it allows students to make connections between words and visuals. Mind mapping helps students put research on a piece of paper without writing word for word and still be able to apply most of the information that is needed to help make the connections. 

 5. When should teachers incorporate mind mapping in the classroom? Sometimes teachers can incorporate mind maps in language arts, stories, topics, and vocabulary. Research anything that is being discussed. Mind maps can be used to take about math concepts, soc studies, steps in a process, science, and much more. This will also help create creativity and help students debate on different topics in the classroom.
