| 4. | Write essays | Students can create an essay outline, gather arguments and quotes or brainstorm ideas for your essays with mind maps. |
| 5. | Memorize information | Mind maps activate many levels of brain activity and are a great tool to help with memorization- from vocabulary words to a foreign language. |
| 6. | Create presentations | Have students use mind maps to present information in an interesting and engaging way with mind maps. Students can use mind mapping software to create a presentation in advance or create one on the spot during a live presentation. |
| 7. | Study for an assessment | Mind maps are a great way for students to gather all the information that may be covered on an examination including class notes, textbook chapters and reading lists. |
| 8. | Execute group projects | By using a mind map, students can visualize what needs to be done and who needs to do it. Using an online mind mapping programme is best for group projects so students can easily share it. |
