Activity: Mind Mapping: Blumind Edraw

Mind mapping is a creative technique for brainstorming and planning presentations. It involves mapping out ideas and concepts in a non-linear, graphical format that radiates from a central topic. Connecting related ideas using lines, symbols, words and images, mind maps provide a clear, logical structure for organizing information. They allow for faster brainstorming compared to outlining, and help determine associations between concepts for developing presentations that don't have a prescribed format. Digital mind mapping tools like PowerPoint SmartArt or Blumind can be used, or ideas can be hand drawn on paper and scanned. Examples demonstrate a range of mind map styles, from simple to intricate. The process involves writing the central topic, jotting related concepts

WHAT IS MIND MAPPING?

Mind mapping is a creative and logical means of brainstorming and presentation planning by “mapping out”
your ideas in free-form. Mind maps are non-linear representations of how ideas and concepts connect to one
another. Mind maps can look different from one user to the next, but all share an organizational structure that
radiates from a central topic or idea. Concepts are then connected to one another using lines, arrows,
symbols, words, color, and images.

WHY USE IT?

In a world in which presentation software is both prevalent and easily accessible, the first step in presentation
planning is often to jump straight in and toss your thoughts onto a slide. The result of this method is often a
disorganized, messy presentation. Outlining doesn’t fully solve this problem, because presentations are not
always linear in nature. Mind mapping is very useful for presentations that don’t have a prescribed format or
flow. Mind maps allow you to start with an overarching topic, brainstorm all the little bits of information or
concepts you want to cover, and then determine the associations and flow between these concepts. Not only
is mind mapping a faster way to brainstorm, but the end result is a clear, logical presentation.

MIND MAPPING TOOLS

For this assignment, you can create your presentation in a digital format using SmartArt in Powerpoint or free
mind mapping software like Blumind or Edraw. You can also hand draw your mind map on a sheet of plain,
white paper. Just be sure that you can upload your mind map image as a .pdf file.

EXAMPLES

Mind maps can range in style and level of intricacy. Here are some cool examples, but remember to make it
your own.

HOW TO GET STARTED

1. In the middle of a blank page, write or draw the idea/topic you intend to develop.
2. In the area around this central idea, quickly jot down all the concepts you can think of that relate to
your topic.
a. After looking at the page of ideas, cross out any concepts that are redundant or unnecessary for
this specific presentation.
3. Using arrows, symbols, or pictures start making associations between concepts. For example, connect
all major concepts to your central idea, and then connect all sub-topics to your major concepts.
