Starting with a prompt or topic, students identify supporting themes or subtopics and illustrate connections using branches, color, and illustrations (or other media). Mind maps are great for organizing thoughts and ideas related to subject matter but can also be used to help analyze and critique material, encouraging deeper thinking and understanding of difficult concepts. Listed below are some activities where mind mapping can be effective:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"prpl-row\"><div class=\"prpl-column one-half\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reflection\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brainstorming<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Project organization or outlining<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"prpl-column one-half\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Silent discussion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Argument planning<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Note taking\/studying<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mind mapping is proven to help increase engagement, creativity, and collaboration amongst students (Rosba et al., 2021). Additionally, research supports that mind mapping can help students to understand long-term lessons, increase participation, and enhance peer communication, if working collaboratively (Lubov Vorona-Slivinskaya &amp; Olga, 2020).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a few free online mind mapping tools that can be used to facilitate independent or collaborative mind mapping. Listed below are two suggested mind mapping tools. Bothare web-based platforms and are mobile-friendly.
