Week 2 Monday's class

In Today’s class we changed places accordant by our month of birth. This exercise was to help each other to get organize .It was an interesting exercise because we found people from our same month of birth. I noticed that there were more people born in October and in May. Also, There were few people born in December was and in November. In today’s lecture we talked about Mind Mapping /Idea Mapping. Idea Mapping we learned that is a way of brain storming and it’s a graphing way of exploring ideas. In brain storming you let your ideas flow and never analyze anything. An example that Mr. Moss gave us about brainstorming was when picking baby names just let names come out. Brain storming vs. Being Analytical? In brainstorming you get your ideas out there freely as in being analytical you start evaluating critically whether you like it or not. What Map mapping helps you on? Well I learn that it helps you to get fresh ideas and not worry about analyzing. How one opens one mind? Well, first you have to be interest it and have to appeal to you. What are the barriers to an open mind? Well, some barriers could be fear, judgments, bad experiences etc…How to come with ideas? Give yourself time and space. Also try to do a Mind Mapping to come with ideas. A Mind Mapping is composing of things like incubation that’s your brainstorming; Exploration that’s when you try your ideas. Analyze that’s when you review; draw, or sketch. Finally, you Act make a decision. Things that can help you organize ideas are key words, drawings, colors, images, symbols etc… Finally we make a Mind Mapping and it was quite interesting because we let our ideas flow and also we have an opportunity to see what other people’s ideas were.

Here I put two quotes that were related with today’s topic. I hope you like them!!!
