Week 1 The body systems.






Modern technology will no doubt support teachers in accomplishing much higher levels of student engagement. Mind mapping can be used in all subjects across the curriculum. It has very bold and attractive colours to help students learn faster. This sort of map will help students to visualise, create, communicate and deepen understanding. It helps to engage and motivate students learning. This map will help the students to learn the body systems at a glance.

Mind maping helps the brain to see and make connections easily. It brings clarity to the decision making process. Less space is used and it is less time consuming. Mind mapping will help students reduce their work load because information is easily recalled. It is a good tool that helps one to understand the relationships between different aspects of a situation. It will be an incredible tool in the classroom for formal and informal learning.


Mind mapping will be useful in teaching litracy as it could be used for brain storming to activate prior knowledge and connect books the students have previously read. It will be very useful in organising words of the same meaning, words of the same sound etc. Mind mapping could be used after excursions for recaping. Mind mapping is a great topic planner with the main theme at the centre.
