How do I map? First reject the idea of an outline, or of paragraphs using sentences. Think in terms of key words or symbols that represent ideas and words. You will need: a pencil (you'll be erasing! ) and a blank (non-lined) big piece of paper a blackboard and (colored) chalk "post-it" notes Write down the most important word or short phrase or symbol for the center. Think about it; circle it. Post other important concepts and their words outside the circle Edit this first phase Think about the relation of outside items to the center item Erase, edit, and/or shorten words to key ideas Relocate important items closer to each other for better organization If possible, use color to organize information Link concepts with words to clarify their relationships Continue working outward Freely and quickly add other key words and ideas (you can always erase! ) Think weird: combine concepts to expand your map or; break boundaries Develop in directions the topic takes you--not limited by how you are doing the map As you expand your map, tend to become more specific or detailed Set the map aside Later, continue development and revision Stop and think about relationships you are developing Expand the map over time (right up to an exam if necessary! ) This map is your personal learning document It combines what you knew with what you are learning and what you may need to complete your "picture" Note the descriptive links for the arrows for "evapotranspiration" and "condensation" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash exercise contributed by Aaron Shapiro & Dustin Schiltz; Luoise Lystig Fritchie, Interactive Media (DHA 5341) School of Design, University of Minnesota See also: Example of a cluster map for online learning Tony Buzan's video from "Youtube" What is, and how to create a mindmap Mind mapping was developed by Tony Buzan: "The Mind Map Book: How to Use Radiant Thinking to Maximize Your Brain's Untapped Potential", Penguin Books, New York.
