Mind Map Online Training Courses
By Dirk C Wallace
How do you create a mind map? The root concept is actually pretty
simple, and involves brainstorming for every idea, word or link
you can think of that radiates out from one central word or idea
you’ve written down.
People do this alone or in groups, and after all the ideas are
written down, then you review those ideas and place them into
common categories. What is created on the page ends up being a
visual map that shows how everything relates to everything else,
as well as to that initial idea.
Browsing For Books On Amazon
When you search for ways to learn how to mind map, there is no
shortage of resources. Whether you want to study from a book or
do some kind of online course, the options are all open.
Just browsing through Amazon gives you a long list of books that
might be a starting point for you. You’ll find books such as "Mind
Maps at Work: How to Be the Best at Your Job and Still Have Time
to Play," by Tony Buzan, the person most responsible for
popularizing these techniques.
But he is joined by many other authors like Nancy Margulies and
Christine Valenza, who wrote "Visual Thinking: Tools for
Mapping Your Ideas."
Online Mind Mapping Courses
If you prefer ebooks or online training to learn visual mapping
techniques, then there are several websites that offer this as
well. For example, Blackbelt Mindmap Training sends PDFs to subscribers
over a period of five days, at the end of which they receive their
"black belt" in the technique.
There is also software available, both as freeware or purchased
programs. These, however, are primarily applications used by already
experienced mind mappers.
Most will likely have tutorials, but you might want to learn
by other means, so you can evaluate which program you’d prefer.
The www.mind-mapping.org
website can be a great help in sorting through this wealth of
resources.
Becoming An Expert On Mind Mapping
There are in-person classes as well. The Tony Buzan mind mapping
courses are probably the best known, and can be discovered at
his website (www.buzanworld.com).
But his organization doesn’t just teach people how to mind map,
but also trains people to go out and conduct their own courses.
So whether you just want to stay home with a book, practice on
a computer program, or go and learn in a class where you can ask
questions on the spot and learn with other people, there is a
multitude of options available to help you to become an expert.
