Mind map |
A mind map is a hierarchical diagram with a central idea, or image, at the centre of the map surrounded by branches that extend from the central idea. Inspiration mind maps follow the techniques developed by Tony Buzan and others. Mind map branches contain supporting ideas, or topics with higher level topics closest to the central idea.
Mind mapping provides a powerful framework to help organize and recall information while allowing for easy editing.
Student Portfolio is an example of a mind map.
