Wiley Wednesday: Mind Mapping — No Comments

  1. It's fun to use it. My stepson's eyes about popped out of his head the first time I pulled it out. He was about ten. It makes a godawful boom when you let it fall onto the floor, then I kicked it across the rug and it unrolled about twelve feet. I told him he could color anywhere on that he wanted.

    His eyes were huge. 🙂

  2. I haven't ever drawn a picture like that. I do brainstorm periodically, though, and document it almost word for word as it comes into my head. So it's sentences instead of keywords, but it does help me track the flow of the idea as it forms. Those sentences help make sure I won't just remember the idea itself, but all the connections that got me there in the first place.

    That must have been a darn big roll of paper! I bet it's not white-white anymore, either, but still perfect for mapping and coloring.

    Thanks for sharing, Noony!

  3. This idea is one I am going to try with poetry…it's a bit like a site that has magnetic poetry, you can move a given selection of words on the screen to make a poem. But I this is more even more creative. Wonder what I can write with this. :))

  4. I've done those before, most recently in a Journalism class where we called it a "Blundell Chain."

    Call it what you will, it can be a helpful tool that I should probably try to work with sometime outside of classes.
