Create an electronic mind map
A mind map is used to show the
development route of an idea
broken down into categories.
They can be used to show options
for one idea based on a central
theme or any resources needed
for a project.
Mind maps can be made by hand or
using publishing, word processing
or image editing software.
They are used by designers, project
planners and even students to help
with revision.
