Smart Deaf Education : Drawing a Mind Map

How do we draw a mind map step by step?

Step 1: 

No more than 11 main branches to help you avoid the complex and crowded on mind map

作為幫助記憶，最好是不超過11個主要分支.

*  investigate this is simply to start adding keywords and branching out

最簡單的方法進行調查，這僅僅是開始添加關鍵字和分支沒有太多的沉思或頭腦開始想以線性方式。

* The beauty and diversity Mind Maps , encourages radial thinking which uncovers wider and more interesting ideas.
使用思維導圖的美麗和多樣性是它鼓勵徑向思想，揭示了更廣泛和更有趣的想法。

it is best to use single words as a phrase can stop the train of thought.

Step 2: 

Here is the Mind Map with sketches added  to help more memorable and exciting to look at. put represent the word and concepts. Because Mind Maps use a combination of words and images they are far more brain-friendly than a list of text; brilliant for memorising information and fun to create.

為了使思維導圖更令人難忘的和令人興奮的，添加關鍵字時，創建的圖像瀏覽。因為心智圖使用的文字和圖像的組合，幫你記住容易

Two brilliant tips here are to use light colours and spread the colours fairly evenly throughout the Mind Map so that there is a good balance overall.

然後，我其餘的圖像色彩突出了思維導圖。

兩個輝煌的提示這裡是利用光的顏色和傳播的顏色相當均勻分佈在整個心靈地圖，以便有一個很好的平衡整體。

Here are some basic Mind Mapping rules (in the Tony Buzan style)

(Reference Link  http://www.informationtamers.com/WikIT)

1.      Start in the center of a landscape sheet of blank paper.
2.      Use a picture for your central idea.
3.      Use colors throughout.
4.      Connect your main branches to the central image and connect your second-level branche to   the first and so on.
5.      Make your branches curved rather than straight-lined, the central lines being thicker, organic and flowing, becoming thinner as they radiate from the center.
6.       Use one keyword per line.
7.       Use images throughout.
8.       Develop your own personal style of mind maps.
9.       Use emphasis and show associations in your mindmap.
10.       Keep the mind map clear by using radiant hierarchy, numerical order or outlines to embrace your branches.

Mindmaps ® were invented by Tony Buzan

They help us progress from “linear” (one-dimensional) through “lateral” (two-dimensional) to “radiant” (multi-dimensional) thinking.
