Mind mapping

Area this example can be used:

Computer Science

Short and concise description what I did and how I did it:

 Teachers can choose any free of charge or pay mind mapping program, download onto their computer and use it at any time. 
When using FreeMind the teacher, in the last lecture, asked the learners to remember the themes they acquired and make conclusions what their benefits are, namely, determine what they have learned and what themes were the most useful. 

1. Start with the main idea, theme, bring forward the problem they are going to discuss. This has to be written in the middle.  

Useful in age group:

19 to 25, 26 to 30, 31 to 50, 51 to 66, 66 over

Aim to be achieved:

To make visual structure of the acquired knowledge and make conclusions on the development.

How did I achieve it:

Introduced in the teaching process a new tool FreeMind.

I encountered these problems and my following approaches helped to solve these:

Problem: 1. Study one`s development dynamics (what has been learned? What was the knowledge before and what is it now?) Solutions: When introducing this method learners can clearly see and make conclusions on the development and benefits gained during the learning process.

Why do I consider this approach to be effective and useful:

1. Free of charge, easy to access, possibility to be used by anyone 2. Saves resources 3. Develops thinking and memory 4. Develops ability to analyze things and creativity 5. Possibility to determine the dynamics of knowledge quickly 6. Motivates learners to continue to study as benefits are seen.

Tools:

Mind mapping

Mind Mapping is a "Thought Organisation Technique" invented by British psychologist, Tony Buzan, in 1971.

Freemind

 FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java.

Managing yourself: 
Mind mapping
Learning styles: 
visual

auditory
Pedagogical targets: 
Feedback (giving and receiving)
Problem solving
Communication
Planning
Any special target groups?: 
Not specifically stated
License: 
no
Technical Requirements: 

FreeMind is written in Java, so it will run on almost any system with a Java runtime environment.

• About 13 MB of Hard Disk space for the full version, including all the plug-ins. 
• At least 512 MB of Memory. More memory is better, especially if you will be creating large mind maps.
