Using This Strategy Students Gain Access to Higher Levels of Thought
They start to apply, synthesis and evaluate the ideas in their head!
Imagine, if every teacher, in every subject, with every age group implemented this strategy so their learners would be thinking at elevated states?
I’ve used mind mapping, also known as ‘non-linguistic representation’, as a strategy to comprehend and apply the ‘new’ learning I’ve been consumed with these days. For me, It seems to make understanding much easier and quicker and it’s definitely more fun than the traditional note taking strategy.
Also…It builds creativity, the right, spacial side of the brain. Learners engage and understand this way of thinking. Often learners want to learn in more creative ways then the classroom teacher is trying. This visual representation strategy is powerful and very brain responsive.
The mind map I drew on our wall to organize and expand my thoughts of the website and book helped me immensely. The ideas came fast when I started drawing. This was brainstormed during October and November of 2009
This part represents my goals of the book and the websites.
This “I am Genius” was created while I listened to a recording of a training session put on by a business coach. Wow, it was so motivating!
My garden of SELF!
More of my ‘garden of self’ as well as the ‘stamp of approval’ and endorsement from a millionaire coach! Excellent!
After listening to The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, by T. Harv Eker, this came out of me.
Most people aren’t aware of the fact that it’s one or the other; growing or dying. The way I look at it, if you’re learning something new and thinking and pursuing more happiness and achievement then you’re growing. If you’re not learning, not pursuing specific goals, existing in a habitual life of meaningless activity as you move through your days…then I would say you’re dying. Maybe slowly, yes…although still dying…
I would very much like to keep growing! In fact, I think I’ll be growing today.
