What is mind mapping
A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea.
It is used to generate, visualize,
    structure and classify ideas.
History
Mapping:
The mapping concept started evolving in 1960s when some learning experts discovered that meaningful learning occur when we link concepts together
Concept mapping:
The technique of concept mapping was developed by Joseph D. Novak and his research team at Cornell University in the 1960s as a mean of representing the emerging scientific knowledge to students.
Mind Mapping:
Developed and copyrighted by Tony Buzan in the1970s, the difference between mind mapping and concept mapping is that Mind Mapping consists of one Key or Concept while Concept mappings can contain many concepts
