Why Mind Map?

Mind Maps are important in the education system as they are a way for children to develop ideas. By using mind maps when a student is asked to complete an assignment they can create a plan based on what they need to write. They can go onto www.bubbl.us and create a simple mind map in order to construct their ideas so it is simple to create an essay. The student would start by placing the topic in the middle of the mind map. By doing this the student can branch out with the main ideas related to the topic. For example if they were to be doing an assignment on students they could branch out to main sub topics associated with students. These could assist of adolescents, learning, sport and many more topics. From there they can go on to create ideas that relate to subtopics, for example if they were to branch off from adolescents they could add puberty, body consciousness and becoming adults. From this they can create paragraphs on each constructing the essay. Mind mapping will be an important element for students throughout their education.

I find that bubblus is an easy is an easy site to use and I believe children in Generation Z are so technologically minded that they will not have any trouble using the site. This will make it easy for students to use at school and teachers won’t have to give too much information on how to use the site. I believe that teachers will find that many students will be able to work in the program better then they can.
