  1. Mind Mapping Taking Concept Maps in Science to a Another Level Judy Lauriault, GTE, Presenter Michelle Mendenhall, AVE, Co-Presenter

  2. What is mind mapping? • Mind mapping is the process of creating a visual display of a concept using symbols, images, colors, and key words. • Mind Maps demonstrate how words and ideas relate to each other.

  3. Why Mind Map? Mind Maps: • Encourage creativity. • Promote visual thinking skills. • Contextualize learning in meaningful ways. • Promote active involvement. • Foster Cooperative Learning. • Assist ALL students in learning concepts and vocabulary because information is presented visually.

  4. Brain Compatible Learning • Mind mapping closely mirrors our natural thinking processes. It involves the whole brain because both left and right hemispheres of our brain are involved.

  5. Improved Comprehension • To create a mind map, students must be able to make content connections and make content connections and make content connections and make decisions about how to display the information in a meaningful way.

  6. Memory • Since mind maps symbolize concepts with short, easy-to-remember visual and linguistic cues, students are able to remember more of what they see and draw than what they read and hear.

  7. ELL Students • Information is presented visually rather than verbally therefore assisting ELL students in grasping concepts, content, and vocabulary.

  8. Mind Mapping Guidelines • Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors.

  9. Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your mind map.

  10. Each word/image is best alone and sitting on its own line.

  11. Make the lines the same length as the word/image they support. • Use multiple colors throughout the mind map, for visual stimulation and also to encode or group.

  12. The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. The central lines are thicker, organic and thinner as they radiate out from the center.

  13. Keep the mind map clear by using radial hierarchy, numerical order or outlines to embrace your branches.

  14. Use emphasis and show associations in your mind map. Develop your own personal style of mind mapping & be creative!
