Brainstorming? Mind maps?


Previous lesson was to brainstorm on a phrases given and my group chose the topic "How to break a glass" immediately. We thought it was easy but guess what. We're wrong. It's actually not easy to think those points because for this topic, what popped out on our minds was the most straightforward answers; none other than the typically 'drop on the floor' or 'smash it'. We wrecked out minds and finally think out of some exaggerated points which may not be necessarily useful. It was quite an interesting lesson that day.


Question of the day: 
What is brainstorming?
Is mind map useful?


Brainstorming is a great way to solve problems & to come up with new ideas. It allows you to examine the problems from outside the boundaries of normal thinking, and understand the issues and root causes, and come up with alternative solutions. 

Yes it is. When running out of ideas, mind map comes in. Ask yourself who? when? what? why? where? & how? and start joining arrows and ideas. That's how I develop good points. Isn't this how it works? Not sure what's your method but hope this helps!
