Yesterday I created a mind map of the things that I wanted my boys and I to achieve by the end of the day. I drew the mind map on my 5 year old son’s white board just after breakfast and then gave him the option of what we would do first. My son then spontaneously wrote a title showing that he understood exactly the purpose of the mind map. Later in the day my son said that his teddy, George, needed a wash and reminded me that George's nose needed sewing up. I suggested he added it to the mind map, which he did. He drew a picture of George, a sewing needle and a washing machine. I was particularly impressed as everything else I had penned were words and I hadn't even suggested he drew a picture. My son’s current teacher does use a wordy mind-map-type diagram to describe what the children will be doing each term, but I had never asked how this is shared with the children, perhaps I should!

Mind Mapping of course does this but it is rarely taught except by those, like me, who have realised this massive gulf and started to bridge it. Linear lists have not served us well and this can be seen because many of the great thinkers have not used linear lists but gone for visual recording of their ideas: Einstein, Leonardo, Eddison et al. As soon as you show a learner how to Mind Map you can see the release in their thinking and creativity. However a word of caution Mind Mapping and Brain Storming are not the same as this article seems to suggest.
