Auto Creation of Mind Maps

NotebookLM from Google allows educators to design dynamic mind maps from self-selected content. Educators choose materials, load them to NotebookLM, and then create a mind map. The resulting graphic organizer is expandable to hide or reveal relevant content. Educators can then export the mind map as images which can also be embedded in other forms of media, like videos and slide decks.

A mind map titled “Robots for Everyone Project.”At the center is a main node labeled Robots for Everyone Project, with six primary branches: Core Philosophy & Purpose Every learner can acquire communication skills Achieved through evidence-based practices (EBP) Robots provide a vehicle for (sub-branch extends but not expanded further) Robots not used as a reinforcer Project History and Evolution A single sub-node indicator (chevron) showing additional content not expanded Goals and Metrics Choose language concepts to target Choose computer science standards Design experience using robots and coding Reflect on other goals (non-language/computer science) Reflect on replication/reinforcement at home Design & Delivery Process 6. Deliver educational experience Collect performance data Report performance data Reflect/collaborate on data and adjustments Repeat making necessary adjustments Team Roles and Responsibilities One sub-node indicator (chevron) suggesting more details Data and Artifact Requirements One sub-node indicator (chevron) suggesting more details Other Design Considerations One sub-node indicator (chevron) suggesting more details The layout is radial, with gray primary nodes branching to green sub-nodes. The overall visual is clean and dark-themed with curved connectors linking each idea.
