Mad Mapper’s Muse: I was very excited when Zahra Baray joined the Mind Map Mad Group over on Facebook and told us about Project Butterfly she is involved in.
I wrote:
This is one of three mind maps I’m featuring this month to highlight the Butterfly Universe initiative. According to its web site its ‘a global movement aiming to transform the learning process through revolutionary learning tools, entertainment and technology’, notably mind mind maps in case you hadn’t guessed.
It focuses on children’s education, and uses a powerful metaphor:
Children in the current education system globally are like caterpillars who can be transformed into vibrant butterflies unleashing their full potential.
Asad’s marvellous mind map is just oozing with character and pulls you in to explore each branch and discover many aspects of this popular North American holiday. Well done Asad, and… let’s see some more!
Author’s Comment: I truly enjoyed making the Thanksgiving Mind Map as I felt that many of my friends and family members here in Pakistan were unaware of the history of the holiday, the regions where it is celebrated and the traditions that are followed during the celebration.
I felt that I could cover all the basic elements of the holiday, on a single and attractive Mind Map in order to help people understand the holiday.
The many colourful images were especially fun to draw and coming up with creative ways to create associations, was a challenging but entertaining process.
After drawing the Mind Map, as a work project, I was so proud of the job that I had done, that I posted it on my Facebook account and was delighted to see the response of people commenting on how interesting it looked, and sharing it with their friends all across the world.
I truly believe that any topic can be fun to learn and easy to teach using this invaluable tool.
