Personal reflection on C&D thinking and mind mapping

Study Techniques

Hey there! I am posting again this week. Hope this helps you think differently!

A few days ago our teacher of NTYCX asked us what a computer was. Most of us looked at him, thinking the answer was so obvious. How could he ask such an easy question? Then we had to look it up on the internet and at first the answers were the same as what we thought. But after some deeper research what we found out about a computer surprised us. It was not only the device we use daily, the one we use to complete assignments, it was so much more. 

So, after all the information we got, the teacher introduced us the words convergent and divergent thinking. For a better explanation we saw this video 👉 https://youtu.be/zBx4TM8niG8

Convergent thinking is a very basic way of thinking. It narrows all options to one solution. They usually start with what, who, when and where.

On the other side we have divergent thinking. This is more like thinking out of the box. It lets you consider all of the possibilities and it might even lead you to other questions, which means more ideas.  

To organize everything we did a mind map. In my case i used MindMeister. Here is the link: https://www.mindmeister.com. Doing this helps a lot, because you can explain topics in an easier way. Besides it is more entertaining than having to read it in form of text. I am going to give you two different ways to watch my mind map.

It took some time to complete this assignment, because we had to search a lot of information. But I think the results were positive.   

Here I am working.

 Well this is the end of my post. Hope you learned something from  this. Till next time!
