The use of Mind Map as a communication
In the topic of measurement, students worked in group to come out with mind map. Using the skill thought in humanities, they are able to identify and understand the structure of the topic. Using their prior knowledge, students are able to fit information together from different input. Some groups are more creative as they use colours to separate different ideas (easier to remember and also help in organizing the main points). Others use symbols and images (they draw thermometer, stopwatch,etc) to remember information more effectively than words.
I discovered that Mind Mapping is an extremely effective method of taking notes.
Mind Maps show not only facts, but also the overall structure of a topic and the relative importance of sub parts of it. It helps students to associate ideas and make connections. As such, I will use at the end of every topic if possible to summarise the topic.
