Mind mapping is a popular concept that is used in a variety of teaching and learning situations. It has many uses, although these are often misunderstood. Another issue to clarify is that mind maps are not spider diagrams or a variation of that kind. They are a discreet teaching and learning tool that need to be used according to clearly defined rules.
This article looks at the basic principles behind mind mapping, the rules that should be adhered to when constructing mind maps and the applications of the tool to your study of history. The rest of this discussion will make reference to the article ‘Scrambling for slaves, scrambling for Africa’ on pages 2–5 of this issue of MODERN HISTORY REVIEW.
