People face many different challenges during the educational process and a lot of information to retain and learn.

Students can use them to brainstorm an idea for creative projects either alone or within a group. Moreover, these maps help them to plan and structure written works such as essays and presentations. A mind map can help an individual structure the thinking process with greater clarity to explore relationships between ideas and different elements.

There is a study that demonstrates the fact that when students actually use mind mapping principles, they are able to increase their grades by twelve percent (Guerrero & Ramos, 2015).
