Creating a "Mind Map Made Simple" for Parents, Students and Elementary School Teachers?

Using a mind maps has become very popular in education, business and government. The methodology used in mind mapping is something that everyone can use. Using mind mapping as a tool for learning makes sense and it is a much better way to learn than simply rote memorization. Many of the mind maps that we see are rather complicated for a third grader in elementary school.

However, we should be using mind mapping at a much earlier age so that the students can get the methodology down and understand some of the philosophy behind it as they start learning in school. This will help them throughout their education. Is it possible to make a mind map much simpler than the ones we see produced by educators?

I believe it is and I believe that we should make mind mapping simple for parents, students and elementary school teachers and provide material that they can use in helping the children format their brains in learning a different way. Here is a decent Mind Mapping eBook, it is called the Human Knowledge Mind Map and worthy of your time to read;

On page 7 you will indeed see a brilliantly laid out MindMap, which could potentially be taught to children with a little simplification and then as they get use to it, more components can be added. This will assist them in learning not just rote memorization.

Eventually the children will begin to learn thru thinking rather than question and answer indoctrination you see? Well, I hope this philosophical thought and concept propels your mind in 2007 in your quest to be the best.
