Mind mapping is a very effective method to extract and memorize information . They are a logical and creative way of taking notes and ideas which is literally a map of thoughts on a topic.
All mind maps have common elements. They have a radial organizational structure from a nucleus in which lines , symbols, words , colors and images illustrate simple and logical concepts.
To better understand what a mind map is, imagine the map of a city . The city center is the main idea, the main avenues leading to the center represent the key thoughts of the mental process , the smaller side streets represent the thoughts, etc. . Pictures or special forms may represent particularly important landmarks or ideas.
The mind map is the external mirror that reflects your thoughts using a graphic process, which provides the universal key to unlock the dynamic potential of the brain.
Some links to software and online web pages to create mind maps
