A breakthrough in mind mapping!
|
|
This is a well argued and thorough examination of the applications of mapping techniques for educators. It goes beyond the well worn Buzan material and freshens up thinking about visual literacy and about independence of thinking. The arguements about language triangles are particularly useful. I took some of the exercises and used them with my class the next day.

The best book on mind / concept / model mapping ever
|
|
This is the ultimate guide to what Buzan calls mind mapping and the Harris and Caviglioli call Model Mapping. It totally demystifies map making. After years of trying I now have total confidence in how to do it myself, how to teach it to my pupils and how to use it as part of my classroom practice.In particular I now know that all my students are developing their thinking skills in my lessons. The Mapwise chapters chart the history of maps; how to go about making a map, how to teach mapping; thinking skills and mapping; improving communication between teachers and learners and MapWise classrooms in action. This is honestly a GREAT resource for teachers and I believe it is the ultimate guide to one of the most powerful accelerated learning techniques around. Any teacher seriously interested in raising levels of motivation, pupil interest and participation (as well as results!)should get one. Oh yes I forgot to mention that... I got special mention in my appraisal for the quality and diversity of my planning because of it...This is in spite of the fact that I spend 60% less time marking and planning than I used to!

a book which looks as good as it reads

This book is a fascinating insight into mind mapping - how it works, how it can be used to develop thinking and how it can go beyond the Buzan method. It is really strong on practical applications for learning and it is organised in such a way to make it easy to map your way through
