A mind map is a diagram that lets you graphically represent ideas and concepts in a structured way. With mind mapping you write the core idea in the centre of the map. This is the root. Then add key ideas as branches around that root. Each branch represents a topic and radiates out from the centre. In this way you are mapping knowledge that will help you understand and remember new information. You may choose to read and write the map as a clockwise structure, starting the first branch topic at 1 o'clock or to read and write the map linearly as a list of branches on the right hand side and a list of branches on the left hand side. Why use a mind map? Mind maps are an effective means to take notes, brainstorm and generate ideas. They can be a fast and effective way to get large volumes of information down quickly. Most importantly mind maps can be a handy way to get started on a daunting or difficult task. You can view several levels of a topic at once in a mind map, which allows you to see a clear overview. Making edits and revisions is simple and you can visually enhance your mind map with colours, icons and images. Mind maps can be used in business, for study or for personal use and have the following applications: Freeplane for Mac | User Guide | Open licence 2012 5 • Brainstorming - individually, and as a group • Summarising information • Taking notes • Consolidating information from different research sources • Preparing a paper, manual or document • Thinking through complex problems. • Planning a project • Presenting information in a format that shows the overall structure of your subject. • Studying or memorising information such as the key points of a topic About Freeplane software Freeplane is free and open source software to support thinking, sharing information and getting things done at work, in school and at home.
