2. What is a mind map
A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information. A mind map is often created around a single word or text, placed in the center, to which associated ideas, words and concepts are added.
Major categories radiate from the central point, and lesser categories are sub-branches.
Categories can represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items related to a central key word or idea.
