Assignment Title: Mind Mapping
Uses in the Classroom: Mind mapping can be used by both the teacher and students. From the standpoint of the teacher, mind mapping can be a significant tool for guiding classroom learning. A teacher can create a mind map as a tool to guide students through a lesson. The mind map developed by the teacher can be provided to students as a handout.
For students the mind map can be a tool to help them summarize what they have learned into a quick reference guide. After completing a unit a student could be tasked with developing a mind map to demonstrate their understanding of the topics and concepts and present their map to fellow students.
Issues to Consider: The biggest hurdle to creating an effective mind map is the large number of sources that would need to be used to find all the appropriate material. Once all of the material is located, it can be hard to keep track of those resources and make sure they are cited properly. In the example above I used a total of 6 references. The more in depth the concept the more sources that will be needed.
Another factor to consider is that to make an effective mind map most of the sources would need to be electronic. So students must be given the appropriate amount of time in school to complete the assignment because not all students have access to the internet at home.
