While teaching it is crucial important to find new ways in order to increase productivity and efficiency. It is essential to discover the best route to reach students and capture their attentions. While some students learn by listening, some note down word by word what they hear. And some of them learn better by seeing knowledge as a whole with connections. The best method for this kind of learning is mindmapping. Mindmapping is a tool used to boost learning, memorization and creativity. By this way students can visualize what they think, know and learn. Mindmaps are diagrams that are used to outline information visually. One of the most important functions of mindmaps is that they make connections between knowledge. There are many tools to make mindmaps that can be used while teaching like Miro, Mindomo, Coggle etc. This blog is on Mindmeister which is one of these tools.
