Concept Maps ( Reflection of week 7 )

     A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. It is used to organize information to be presented in easy way to understand and remember.
     There are many types of mind maps such as, Sequential Map, Cyclical Map, and Hierarchical Map.
     Personally I like to use mind map in studying and teaching, because it is easy way to present the lesson by putting the main topic in the center of the map then the basic ideas, it helped me a lot as a teacher and as a student.
     Today there are some IT programs that help us a lot in drawing and presenting these maps in easy and interesting way and I think these programs will make the learning easier to deliver and the students are having fun and enjoying their time while they are learning.
