The combination of Mindmapping and WebQuest
Mindmapping is a popular graphical thinking tool. It uses the radioactive thinking of the human brain to guide students to think actively. Every kind of data that enters the brain can become a center of thinking. The center will be radiated outward and become thousands of joint points. Each joint point represents a link to the central theme, and each link can become another central theme. Then tens of thousands of joint points are radiated outward again.
