Students should learn mind mapping skills...

Mind mapping is a very powerful technique for notes-taking, originated by Tony Buzan. It forces students or users to extract keywords from the texts and put them into a logical mind map. Reading a map is like reading a picture and we know that a picture speaks a thousand words. That is why it is an effective way of notes-taking. It certainly makes preparation for examinations a more pleasant and enjoyable task. In fact, I think all students should learn mind mapping skills. I have used it for personal brain-storming and even for minutes-taking for meetings.
