Mind Maps

Today was the third day of the ARMPD lecture. We discussed about the Mind Maps.



Mind Map is a graphical technique for visualizing connections between several ideas or pieces of information. It is a visual thinking tool that helps to structural information to kinesthetic learners. It helps to summarizing. Also it great for visual learners. Mind map also used in Walter Pauk's, Cornell Note Taking System.

According to the kinesthetic learning there are four types of people.
  • Visual learners - People who has ideas, data and information associated with images and techniques
  • Auditory  learners  - People who learns through listening
  • Reading or writing learners
  • Kinesthetic  learners -  People who do physical activities

Mind maps can be used according to tree structures and hierarchical structure.

                                                                    Tree structure

                                                            Hierarchical structure

We can use mind maps to generate, visualize, structure, classify ideas, an aid of studying, organizing information, solving problems, and make decisions to summarizing information and consolidating information from different research sources.

Finally lecturer gave us homework to create a mind map of systems.
