After Rachel Miller’s Keynote speech she explains to me the system that she uses with her mother to keep on top of the workload leading up to her final high school exams. They just completed a 4-week online mind mapping course with BulletMap Academy . I got the rare opportunity to ask them how it has affected life at home and school in person at the Dyslexia Scotland Education Conference. Rachel gave a storming keynote speech to 150+ educators, see episode #17.
She covers:
– Now converting 50 class handouts into maps a week!
– How mum reads the handout and she highlights
– She takes the highlights and goes to create a map
– Writing English essays with a map.
– Using phone to dictate
– Mum talking about the reduction in stress and pressure
– Verbally processing by using a map
– Saving time
