Mindmap is one of 17 cooperative work methods in which students discuss, listen to each other and come to agreements together.

  • The teacher draws a circle in a Presenter file, saves it and shares it with the students. Each group opens the Presenter file and adds to the mindmap alternately. Make clear arrangement on who uses what colour, so it is clear which group adds what. Students can then indicate relations between words with arrows. Save the file and share it with the other students.
  • Each group opens the Mindmap tool in a Presenter file. Then, the students can add things to the mindmap one by one. Assign a colour to each student so it is clear who adds what to the mindmap. Students can then indicate relations between words with arrows. Save the file and share it with the other students.
