What is Mind Mapping®?
Mind Mapping® is a powerful, visual thinking technique which provides a universal key to unlocking the potential of the brain. By successfully harnessing the full range of cortical skills - word, image, number, logic, rhythm, colour and spatial awareness, Mind Mapping® gives you the freedom to roam the infinite expanses of your brain.
Ideal for use in schools and colleges, iMindMap™ utilises the brain friendliness and visual appeal of traditional Mind Mapping techniques to actively engage students and teachers alike.
Its flexibility makes it suitable for all subjects and age groups and it can be used in whole class settings on an Interactive Whiteboard or for group/individual study.
Inspires students and makes lessons memorable
iMindMap looks great and is easy to use, engaging students in practical brainstorming, organising, memorising and problem solving for a variety of tasks such as:
• Group projects and presentations
• Essay planning and writing
• Coursework preparation
• Revision and exam preparation
iMindMap appeals to a range of learning styles through its interactive, non linear, highly graphic approach, encouraging students to be more receptive and co-operative in the classroom.
Supports teachers and saves valuable time
Teachers can benefit from increased efficiency and organisation in:
• Lesson planning and preparation. The volume of teacher notes used can be dramatically reduced.
• Lesson delivery. iMindMap™ is ideal for presenting concepts and encouraging participation in the classroom, particularly for starter activities and plenaries.
• Curriculum Planning
• Creating handouts – an ideal way to provide subject overviews without reams of copying and paper.
• Student Assessment – pre and post learning assessment of knowledge
....And crucially, you don't need to have great drawing skills to create beautiful, organic looking Mind Maps for your class. iMindMap's brain friendly approach helps you to produce stimulating, colourful Mind Maps quickly and easily!
Encourages Integrated Learning
iMindMap™ helps to reinforce teaching strategies that encourage learning through multiple intelligences. The use of colourful imagery, keywords and topic inter-connections supports visual, linguistic, logical and auditory learning. What’s more, the activity involved in producing Mind Maps strengthens kinaesthetic learning.
Helps students with learning difficulties
Its neat, intuitive interface and varied functionality makes iMindMap™ useful for helping students with learning difficulties, particularly dyslexia
