Mind Maps in Education!

Hello friends!!

I'm here again! Today I would like to teach you how to explain the parts of an educational project through a way characterized by being very visual, practical, easy to understand and easy to perform ... This way is... the mental maps!

Mind maps help us spatially order the information, ideas, knowledge and thoughts that we are going to work on. From my point of view they are a very useful resource for students to learn in a different and visual way.

In this case, I am going to show you my mental map about the "ecosystems" project aimed at 5th grade students of Primary Education. 

In order to design this mental map I used the Coogle application. Previously I had made mental maps with the text editor of the computer and with applications directed for tablets but in the first case I had to spend a lot of time to do it and in the second they were very simple and they gave failures continuously.

In the case of Coogle, it has been easy for me to learn how to use it, not only because of the guide shown on the right hand side of the screen when you start to make the mental map but also because it is very intuitive. Although, I have to admit that the limitations of the free trial cause that you can not design as you want because many functions are limited, such as changing the color of the lines, the letter (font and placement), adding the frame to text boxes, etc. This along with the display of images that is too small in my opinion are the two aspects that I like least about Coogle.

Through the use of this source I have learned to improve in the making of mental maps and also in how the ideas should be shaped and connected to show the rest of the people the fundamental parts of the project without having to delve into it with long sentences simply with keywords.

Then, I leave the example I have done to explain the project that I said at the beginning of this post.

Hope you like it!! :D
