What is a mind map?

A mind map is a way to capture your thoughts. Start with a central idea, and then create branches from it to related concepts. From there, you can add and connect ideas freely. Mind maps work well for visual thinkers, and the flexible structure enables out-of-the-box brainstorming.

How to make a mind map in Lucidchart

1. Create your core idea

The core idea represents what you want to brainstorm about, like a problem you're trying to solve or the goal of a project that you're planning. Drag a shape from the mind map shape library to your board and add the core idea to it. That shape will remain central as your map grows.

2. Add parent branches

Make branches that outline your basic subtopics. Drag a line from your central idea, then choose a shape from the auto-prompt and fill in your subtopic. You can also use the hotkey "Tab" to create and connect your parent branch.

3. Add child branches and key words

Create more branches from the subtopics you've added. To add more detailed information, use the hotkey "Enter." Use the hotkey "Z" to collapse and expand the child branches so your mind map stays easy to scan.

4. Add colors and images

While not strictly necessary, colors and images help you visually sort and understand your ideas. Using them can make your mind map richer and more helpful to you.

5. Share your mind map

Share your mind map online, even with people who don't use Lucidchart. Generate a URL to share the diagram in an app integrated with Lucidchart, embed your diagram in a wiki, or export your diagram and outlines to different file types.

Frequently asked questions about mind maps

Yes, you can download our app on your mobile device to mind map from anywhere. Our app is available for iOS and Android.

Use mind mapping to generate, organize, or visualize ideas. You can take notes, solve problems, make decisions, and better understand large ideas or concepts. A mind map is the perfect diagram for brainstorming a subject or issue.

Use Tab to create child ideas, Enter to create sibling ideas, Z to collapse or expand children ideas, and arrow keys to navigate through your map.

Implementation of The Good Project Lesson Plans

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Visible Thinking is a flexible and systematic research-based conceptual framework, which aims to integrate the development of students' thinking with content learning across subject matters.

Visible Thinking began as an initiative to develop a research-based approach to teaching thinking dispositions. The approach emphasized three core practices: thinking routines, the documentation of student thinking, and reflective professional practice. It was originally developed at Lemshaga Akademi in Sweden as part of the Innovating with Intelligence project, and focused on developing students' thinking dispositions in such areas as truth-seeking, understanding, fairness, and imagination. It has since expanded its focus to include an emphasis on thinking through art and the role of cultural forces and has informed the development of other Project Zero Visible Thinking initiatives, including Artful Thinking, and Cultures of Thinking.

Hattie Ranking: 195 Influences And Effect Sizes Related To Student Achievement

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
John Hattie developed a way of synthesizing various influences in different meta-analyses according to their effect size (Cohen's d). In his ground-breaking study "Visible Learning" he ranked 138 influences that are related to learning outcomes from very positive effects to very negative effects. Hattie found that the average effect size of all the interventions he studied was 0.40. Therefore he decided to judge the success of influences relative to this 'hinge point', in order to find an answer to the question "What works best in education?"
Originally, Hattie studied six areas that contribute to learning: the student, the home, the school, the curricula, the teacher, and teaching and learning approaches. (The updated list also includes the classroom.) But Hattie did not only provide a list of the relative effects of different influences on student achievement. He also tells the story underlying the data. He found that the key to making a difference was making teaching and learning visible. He further explained this story in his book " Visible learning for teachers ".

John Hattie updated his list of 138 effects to 150 effects in Visible Learning for Teachers (2011), and more recently to a list of 195 effects in The Applicability of Visible Learning to Higher Education (2015). His research is now based on nearly 1200 meta-analyses - up from the 800 when Visible Learning came out in 2009. According to Hattie the story underlying the data has hardly changed over time even though some effect sizes were updated and we have some new entries at the top, at the middle, and at the end of the list.

Below you can find an updated version of our first, second and third visualization of effect sizes related to student achievement.
