Idea Mapping

If you have been following my postings about Dr. Tim Schweizer and his management students at Luther College, you will enjoy 4 more examples from his Fall 2011 class.  I have been following Tim’s work since October 2009 — shortly after he attended one of my Idea Mapping Workshops. Tim has developed a solid process […]

I was recently helping a high school student study for his Spanish exam in a way that better matches his visual learning style. I think most students would agree that their boring linear notes are difficult study tools. So why not try something different. Today’s example is not chapter notes from a Spanish book. This […]

YouTube Direkt I first introduced you to Kris Mavin and the West Highland Christian Academy Idea Mapping experiment in my Oct. 17, 2011 posting. Kris has taught Idea Mapping to his students and we are tracking their progress. This Animoto video features Kris’s second Idea Mapping assignment for his students which was to map the […]

It summarizes much of the information on her website and gives potential clients a quick view of all the information they need to begin their tanning experience. Additional photos can be found on the Alternative […]

The name of one of the classes Kris teaches is “Misseo Dei” (God’s Mission). You can […]

During my recent visit to Palm Beach to visit Vanda North (author of Mind Chi), I noticed this idea map on her refrigerator. It was her plans for preparing Thanksgiving dinner. I snapped a photo and thought the readers of this blog would be interested as we still have the Christmas and New Years celebrations […]

On October 13, 2011 I blogged about one of my favorite maps created by David Hill with assistance from Lisa Frigand — both from Con Edison in New York. This map greatly assisted in rebuilding Manhattan after 9/11. The power of this map is that it shows something very complex in a way that makes […]

I’ve posted this before, but these are still fun idea maps for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday. Tammy Sookthis has participated in both the 2-day Idea Mapping Workshop and the 1-day Memory/Speed Reading Workshop offered through ACH (subsidiary of Ford). She sent me this series of idea maps which she created to get organized for her […]
