Mind Map in Education

In my previous passages, I talked about what mind map is defined, origion of mind map, activities in which mind map can be used, how to make mind map, etc. Today, I would like to take about the mind map used in instruction.

A mind map is a diagram which shows concepts arranged radially around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to visualize and classify ideas, and as aids in study, and decision making. I believe that we can train better employees and give students better education if the instruction becomes more comprehensive and modern. For example, in my 631’s project: Training new employees how to dress formally and act appropriately during working hours in the professional working environment, I can use mind map facilite my instrction. I used Bubbl.us, a web 2.0 tool make this mind map, and I would like to recommend it to you. It is free and easy to use.
