Ret.Prof Rengaswamy had brought out his entire teaching experience and psychology domain expertise together in this mind map. His emphasis on importance of mind-map.
I have learned the importance of mind maps from the ordinary village people. We do a lot of web charts as a part of our Participatory Rural Appraisal with the villagers and I found that drawing a web chart is a powerful way to understand the issues confronted by the villagers. I landed up in the mindmapping software in order to convert the webcharts into digital format. Just like the mind map I also learned the importance of GPS (gographical positioning system) from the fisherfolk and I did some experiments with that. Impressed by that the NSS coordinator of Anna University sent a circular to use GPS, to survey the villages during the NSS Camp. But it failed to take off. NSS rural camps can be sucessfully used to learn the engineering concepts, if the programme officers are willing to learn from the people. I do believe that knowledge is structured in our consciouness and we should create enabling environment to get it expressed.
I am also forwarding some materials related to an experiment that I undertook during my service I called it as UNIT FOR MADURAI STUDIES, an attempt to understand a city in its totality. A city provides a lot of opportunities for students and staff to learn several subjects in an integrated way, if we systematically compile the city affairs. By doing this, an educational institute can easily control the direction of the development, the destiny of a city. You can do it for Bhimavaram.
What I shared with you is a knowledge that I have not created. The only thing I did was, I compiled it. If you feel that it will be useful to you and all those who are connected with your work, you feel free to use and share it in any format. There is no need to put my name in the banner.
Let knowledge trump
