Preparation, what do before the session

• Decide on the topic.
• Go to mindmeister.com and log in or register to sign up.
• Click New Mind Map on the top left. Chose a template called “Blank” and type your topic in the middle. Click on the + icon in the top middle to create a subtopic.
• Change the text colour and background or add icons, images, and videos over the board on the right.
• Before beginning the class, prepare Instructions on the topic – how they will create mind-mapping.

During session

• Give clear instructions to students on how to brainstorm and connect mind-maps.
• Ask the students to use the customisation options available in MindMeister to create a visually appealing and organised mind map. Add nodes, images, links, and notes to each node to create a comprehensive map.
• Create an interactive and collaborative learning environment.
• Guide students as they explore Mindmeister features, encouraging hands-on practice and experimentation.
• Provide real-time support and address any questions or challenges that arise. Foster a culture of collaboration by facilitating group discussions, encouraging students to share their work and provide feedback to their peers.

Follow-up after the session

• Once the mind map is complete, student and teacher can use it as a reference to stay organised and on-task. You can also use it to track progress, update deadlines, and share information with others.
• Review and provide feedback on the mindmaps created.
• Facilitate reflective discussions where students can share their experiences and insights gained.
