Challenge and selection : As a student , there have been many times where the amount of content that I   would have to memorize and internalize is tremendous . Sometimes , I would not have enough time to go   through everything and at first , I kept failing my tests . Eventually , through the help of my teachers and   mentors , I realized that the problem was my learning method and how I studied . I placed too much   pressure on myself to internalize every single word in every single paragraph and that was the reason   why I was not doing very well . Then , I discovered mind maps . It worked wonders . Even now , I use mind   maps for a variety of things such as work , planning events , organizing thoughts and for mentoring   students . As a teacher , I find that some of my students face the same problem I did back then , either   with work or with personal problems . Thus , when they come to me for help or advice , I always use   mind - mapping to help them out . Mind mapping is a diagram tool used to visually organize information   and I find that when our thoughts are in a mess , mind mapping is always helpful to organize thoughts   and ideas especially in a visual form on paper where links and connections between thoughts can be   made . Sometimes , solutions would be staring us right in the face and we just do not know it as our   thoughts are jumbled up in our brains . 

 Application : So when students come to me for help , I start off by asking them what the main problem is   and write it down in the middle of a blank sheet of paper . I usually have several different coloured   markers in front of them to choose from . The different colours also help them to visualize the   connections better . After that , we branch out from the main topic and go into the details of the problem   or issue . Usually , we start off with reasons why the student thinks the problem occurs , followed by how   the student feels , and his / her thoughts on it . I then ask the student what he / she thinks some of the   solutions are and then we go into the pros and cons of each decision and I would then leave the student   to make his / her own decision . I think this is a very effective way ( and colourful ) to visualize thoughts and   organize ideas . It also helps to calm the student down and relieve a huge weight off their shoulders   when everything is laid down in front of them and when they are guided by someone . Most of the time ,   the student walks away with a laid out plan of what to do and an understanding of the consequences ,   both good and bad of each decision . 

 Insight : Before this course , I never knew mind - mapping was one of the design thinking tools . This course   really gave me some insights on how to help both my students and even myself out in various situations .   Even though I use mind mapping a lot with my students , I often find myself in the same situation as   them and sometimes mind mapping does not immediately come to mind and I think this reflection has   made me realise that these design thinking tools can really be used in any situation and I am definitely   going to be applying the knowledge more to my everyday life . 

 Approach : As mind mapping has been proven to work very effectively with my students , I will be   continuing to use mind mapping as a design thinking tool . However , I will be incorporating the other   tools in my lessons more often and conducting small experiments to see if they work well with the   students . In addition to that , I will also be using the tools in my life as well as each tool has its own pros   and cons and thus work well in different situations . Thus , the only way is to try them out for myself and   find out the best tool for myself in the various situations I may face in future .
