Tools
that we will highlight: Mind Map and Storytelling.
Storytelling is a means for sharing and interpreting experiences. Stories are
universal in that they can bridge cultural, linguistic, and age-related
divides. Storytelling can be adaptive for all ages, and Storytelling can be
used as a method to teach ethics and cultural norms and differences, in
business or for life. Learning is most effective when it takes place in social
environments that provide about how knowledge is to be applied. Stories
function as a tool to pass on knowledge in a social context. One of definitions
also includes that modern or contemporary storytelling has a broad purview, it
has extended itself to representing history, personal narrative, political
commentary, and evolving cultural norms. Contemporary storytelling is also
widely used to address educational objectives. It’s because human knowledge is
based on stories and the human brain consists of cognitive machinery necessary
to understand, remember, and tell stories. Humans are storytelling organisms
that both individually and socially, lead storied lives. This is a tool that is
possible to use visually represents, and it helps a lot to capture attention
and involve players. It’s a way to solve problems, and also a way to create new
solutions to traditional or news problems.
Mind Map is
a kind of diagram used to visually organize information, and is often created
around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank landscape
page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and
parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central
concept, and other ideas branch out from those. Mind maps can be drawn by hand,
either as rough notes during a lecture, meeting or planning session, for
example, or as higher quality pictures when more time is available. Your uses
as with other diagramming tools, mind maps can be used to generate, visualize,
structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing
information, solving problems and making decisions. Mind maps have many
applications in personal, family, educational, and business situations,
including brainstorming, summarizing, as a mnemonic technique, or to sort out a
complicated idea. Mind maps are also promoted as a way to collaborate in
creativity sessions.
