Let's Make Mind Map Using ExamTime





Hello guys, so we meet again, this time I'm going to tell you how to make a simple mind map for your daily teaching routine and later test and check your students about their comprehension. You can use mindmap to explain superordinate and subordinate concepts to your students, to explain examples, and to describe objects using picture and simple vocabularies. This mindmap is easy to make and can be utilized into a testing subject for your lesson.
Go to https://www.examtime.com/en/ and register yourself using google plus or facebook account.
 What you need to do is register your email and make an examtime accounts. with this one account, you can access mind map, quiz, flashcards, and note to further helps your students.
 Once you enter the dashboard, select CREATE, and click the mind map.
 Now, you will be redirected into another page, a blank page where you can make the mindmap, but first, you need to know the basic of using it.

 This color part is intended to make the main blocks and sub blocks more interesting for your students. I recommend green, blue, yellow and purple with contrast toward the background.
 You can also change the shape along with the different concept that you are going to teach. For example, you can use circle for sentence, box for phrases, and star for words.
 Adding image will helps students to get the visual message about your lesson. Choose the picture that suits your needs.
 Now, here is an example of mindmap lesson for talking about past. Using photos of old picture, hold againts the street.
 The complete example of the mind map will looks like below. There are big blocks and small blocks. The small blocks uses past simple, pas continues, and past perfect. There are also the extension of examples.

 Be creative and use different colors for each concept, in my example, I use three different colors for each concept.

 Well done! you have now ready to make the mind map of your own. Once you have made this, you can make a test based on the picture using HotPotatoes that I will explain later on this blog.
