Mapping the Mind: Visual Thinking for Learning and Productivity

28th October, 2026 (4:00pm - 4:30pm)

Presenter(s): Gary Smith, Aventido

Discover how visual mapping can enhance learning and productivity using MindMeister.

Research suggests we generate thousands of thoughts each day, often in a nonlinear way. Our brains naturally organise this flow by forming connections, spotting patterns, and building networks of related ideas. For example, when you think of “chicken,” you are more likely to picture the animal than the word itself, sparking a chain of associations: eggs, noise, neighbours, even current ideas like raising chickens. This reflects how the mind works: dynamically and visually.

Mind mapping captures this process. By turning thoughts into structured, visual diagrams, it becomes easier to see relationships, identify patterns, and make sense of complex information. Instead of losing ideas, you can organise and develop them clearly.

Ideal for those supporting neurodivergent pupils or students, or anyone interested in assistive technology, this 20-minute webinar introduces key features of MindMeister with practical, real-world examples.
