What are Mind Maps?Mind maps are visual representations of hierarchical information that include a central idea or image surrounded by connected branches of associated topics or ideas. Subtopics are added to the mind map flowing outward from the central idea.
Mind maps provide a simplified overview of complex information allowing students to better understand relationships and find new connections. As students use symbols, colours and simple keywords to create a memorable mind map, information and connections within that information are more easily recalled. Supporting information is detailed in attached notes.

Mind mapping is commonly used for brainstorming ideas, taking notes and planning tasks. Other visual learning techniques: | ||
