This map is part of the full library, included in every paid plan. Student and Teacher plans start from $20/month.
Unlock the full library →Learn these two keys first.
Enter opens the branches directly under a node. Press it again and they close.
Shift is the one to use for teaching. Press it and everything under that node opens up at once, every level, all the way down. Zoom out slightly and the whole section is laid out in front of you. From there, dictating is easy. Press Shift again when you're done and it all folds back up.
Arrow keys to move between nodes, or click anywhere. Scroll to zoom. Click and drag to pan.
Step 1: Dictation. Work through each branch and dictate the notes to your students. They write what you dictate. This is the core of the method. Press Shift on a branch to open the full section, zoom out, and dictate from there.
These notes are the baseline. Every student should leave the dictation session with the full set of mind map notes written down. If you explain a point and want that explanation in the notes too, dictate it. But the mind map notes themselves must be complete.
A good habit is to pause at the end of a section and ask: "Did you get all of that? Is everything written down?" It builds a connection with the class and ensures no student is left with gaps. The exams should be based on these notes.
Step 2: Reading the text. Once the dictation is complete, open the book and read it with your students. The text will flow far more smoothly now. Students already have the structure; the book fills it in. You will not need to translate or explain every word.
Up to you. There is value in both approaches. My preference for in-person classes is not to project during dictation, as students tend to copy the screen instead of listening. For online classes, projection works well as it gives students a focal point and helps them focus.
