Mind map consists of a general Main Idea topic. The Main Idea is the initial point of your Mind Map. It represents the subject you are going to examine. The central topic is surrounded by other related topics and subtopics, which are displayed in a radial hierarchical structure. Create, capture, consume and communicate information. Making these connections allows you to do each of these quickly and effectively. Use text, images, lines, color, symbols, numbers etc. to identify topics and interrelationships.
