Teaching tips & learning objectives
Teaching tips
Open the HTML files on a laptop or desktop rather than a phone - the guides say twice over that a mind map is best read on a bigger screen.
Read the map collapsed first and expand branch by branch; the number printed on each button tells you how many sub-branches sit underneath before you open it.
If the map is going to be adapted, run Copy and Edit first so the original stays intact as a reference version.
It is supplied as a template rather than a finished handout, so branches can be added, reworded or removed to match how a morning is actually planned.
Skills covered
Reading a mind map - the primer sets out the convention this map follows, beginning at the top right corner and moving clockwise through the branches.
Navigating a large map on screen - click and drag to pan, Ctrl or Cmd with plus and minus to zoom, or Ctrl with the mouse scroll wheel to move in on a single branch.
Managing detail while reading - the numbered button beside a branch collapses or expands its sub-branches, and the number itself shows how much is held inside.
Editing a map in Mindomo - Copy and Edit opens the file for reworking, with Enter adding a branch, Tab nesting a sub-branch, Delete removing one, and right-click changing shape, colour and font.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What is the difference between the two HTML files?
They are two layouts of the same map. One is the classic arrangement, with the central topic in the middle and sub-topics branching outward; the other is right-aligned. Both open directly in a desktop browser - Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge are all named - with no software to install.
How is the map edited rather than just read?
Through Mindomo. The template guide says to click the hamburger menu at the top left and choose "Copy and Edit", which prompts a sign-in; a free account is enough to start. From there Enter adds a branch, Tab adds a sub-branch, Delete removes one, and right-clicking a branch changes its shape, colour and font. The result can be exported as a PDF or a PNG.
What does the number beside a branch mean?
How many sub-branches that branch holds. Clicking it collapses or expands the branch, and the guide suggests closing each section as you finish it so the focus stays on the part you are reading.
