his powerful communication tool uses visual links to develop an idea instead of simple list of words. This makes it easier to understand the flow of ideas and also makes it easier to find out which the related matters are. In short it is a visual representation of the line of thinking.
Classrooms are places where thought, ideas and knowledge flow. That makes it an ideal place to use mind mapping, whether through plain pen and paper or through mind mapping software. As a teacher you will find that mind maps provide many advantages like -
1. It will be of great advantage in lesson planning. You will be able to find out in a visual mode what topics you want to cover, what will be the order of such topics and how to make them interesting to your students; the ultimate beneficiaries of such planned approach.
2. It will give a visual presentation of the lectures you deliver. You can start with a topic and go on explaining all related matters with this visual aid.
3. When you start your lecture you can easily display the way you want to progress. That will give your students a visual guide to follow your lecture properly.
4. Your students will benefit when you can give them a visual guide to the path you are to follow to teach a particular topic and how this topic is related to the topics that you have already covered. This linking of ideas and topics will help them to follow a systematic path and naturally they will understand better.
5. Interaction between students and the teacher improves with mind mapping. Since any topic is explained with a visual aid that shows the progression of such topic, the students can easily pinpoint the areas that they cannot understand. Thus it becomes easier for the teacher to attend specific requests.
6. Mind maps make a lecture interesting as it uses audio visual method which is always more interesting than plain lectures. Such audio visual aids help in retaining more information.
