Module 3: Dealing with Change

    Presentation: Next in small groups or as an individual assign a specific topic or concept, create a mind map related to that topic.

    • During this session, you are encouraged to develop your own Mind Maps, this should be a simple subject, best related to something they are aware of, a general topic Health and Physical Education, Climate and the Environment, Culture, Social Sciences or General Education. Use examples in following slides.
    • Examine a well structured Mind Map that demonstrates the effective use of keywords, sub-branches, visual images and colours, at this stage develop a regular Mind Map exercise related to a class content or even a personal interest.
    • You should now create a basic Mind Map and present to your tutor, or a colleague and be prepared for critical feedback, this should be encouraged. This allows the others to feed their ideas which promotes collaboration and further creativity and awareness.

    Strategies: Embrace mind mapping, this may involve developing a creative and engaging supportive learning environment, start with a list of interesting topics, you should add to a specific topic for the Mind Map creation.
