 SELECTION & CHALLENGES 

 Here , I am using „ Visualisation‟ tools from 1st module . Visualisation is the most efficient   methods of design thinking and innovation process . It helps to organize all these in a   formation and in a visually brain - friendly method .   When we are thinking of an idea , suppose ,   we taste a specific food or visit a place , on that time our mind starts to link this action with   our old memories and previous experience using a relevant model . Our brain starts to think   with one centre action , colour , taste or image and builds branches of thoughts that are used as   a base for other multiplied ideas . Our thinking process is very similar to tree branches .    Basically , this concept is used as the basis for all Visualisation systems and approaches also . 

 There are different challenges I face in time of Visualisation process . The first challenge is   memorizing . Many people struggle with memorizing capability . We all have different   techniques which suit us best . Like some people use visuals , some prefer auditory input .   Kinaesthetic method is also popular among young learners . 

 It says that approximately 65 % of the population is visual learners . Just think that how much 

 visualization can help us to memorize and acquire new concepts by building on our previous 

 knowledge . 

 We are especially blessed with this digital age where we are getting different visual input that 

 makes it easier for us to recall the information even after longer periods of time . 

 The second challenge is Brain storming process . It is defined that a group discussion to solve 

 a problem or to get new ideas . 

 Sometimes Brainstorming may look a chaotic situation at times , but this „ creative chaos‟ is 

 the place where new ideas are born , generated and developed . There are lot of research in the 

 field of brainstorming implications which suggest that the format which we use to write down 

 all different suggested ideas can influence the quality of the session . 

 Visualization and brainstorming both is the perfect match for several reasons : 

    Visualization processes are dynamic and can follow up the fast - changing tempo of a   brainstorming session . 

    All potential interrelationships between certain ideas can be seen in various ways . 

    Visual ideas can hold the brain storming session under control . Brainstorming is an open- ended process and can easily go off - topic if the limits of discussion are not clear - cut .

 Application of Visualization 

 Step1 

 I have applied visualization process in time of writing a paper . I tried to find a different topic   which is not written by any researchers . In time of visualization I have written “ My Topic ” in   the centre of the map , and then I started to write my ideas around the centre . There may be   the topics which are suggested by my teacher , or discussed in class or anything which is   relevant to me . Then I noted down my own areas of interest and saw where they intercept   with the former . Once I have a few good ideas for the subject of my paper , I started weighing   them against each other , also noting down pros and cons . And eliminate topics until I was left   with only one . This would be the topic of my paper . 

 Step2 

 Next step is the Research Process : 

 When we are working through primary and secondary both sources , it is quite easy to get   confused about the numerous views and counter arguments mentioned by the different   authors . It is very tough to figure out how to make the different pieces of information fit   together and makes a relevant text . 

 I need to collect and structure all this information in one central place , so I can easily review   the materials while I write . 

 Step 3 

 Collecting Research : 

 We have to Create a new map(by which we can expand our visualization capability ) for   each source ( book , article , and essay ) , which I read and take notes in this process while I   work through the text . Alternatively , I used one single map where I listed all my sources and   create branches for every page / paragraph / quote which I want to use in my paper . 

 Step4 

 Outlining the paper in a Visualization 

 Before I started with the actual writing , it‟s very important that I have to create an outline of   my paper first . This would help me create a coherent structure of my arguments ,   counterarguments , examples , quotes , and the sources which I want to reference in each   argument . 

 Then it is very easy to review quickly this outline whenever I get sidetracked in my writing   process . A visual mind map is a great format for such an outline because it provides us   a visual overview of our thesis statement and the entire text structure .

 Insights and approaches of Mind Mapping 

 Visualizationis a goal oriented process . It helps to generate new ideas , improves productivity ,   problem solving skills . It is very helpful in brainstorming problems and building on ideas to   determine solutions . In presentation method one is able to show how a process is developed ,   visualizing alternatives and topics discussed . 

 Different people often come up different ideas that they feel are the key areas of focus for a   visual map or process . With the same inputs , different people can develop a different looking   thoughts , but the process will still generate the same end items , just only grouped differently .   That is not something to worry about , though . 

 The more we practice , the more we‟ll find a style that suits us , and new ways to use them   .Visual maps or visualization processes are very quick and easy to use . We have to try to find   new ways to implement them into our work .

NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
