Edu1st Blog - Benjamin Zander

Our brain uses different areas to integrate external stimulus. Images become concepts, ideas and emotions, then we create connections. Making thinking visible helps on understanding and learning. The mind maps engage our brains to better define problems and to look for creative solutions. Watch this video,helps to understand the concept.

As long as we get Minds On - Hands On in a topic, we have ownership of it and the story stays for ever with us. The connections come with the process and the “aha” moments it brings with it.

As told in the TED video recommended here, accompanying that knowledge with images and mind maps helps to create meaning and understanding. This is the ultimate goal we should be looking for: Understanding to be able to apply that knowledge in different contexts!!!!

Great Video to Watch!
