Looking in to mind maps more and thinking about how they can be used as assessments I have started to think about how they could be graded. Since they can be produced in a variety of ways I think it is very important for a teacher to have a specific rubric they are using while looking at various mind maps to make sure that the quality of all the mind maps are the same.
Just from beginning to think about a rubric some aspects that I see as important are making sure they get a specific number of ideas as well as the connection made between the ideas are sufficient. Depending on the various tasks the teacher would have to determine what "sufficient" meant. Math may mean that the student rounded correctly or identified that the number was odd or even etc. The idea of making a rubric can be a complex task and something that would have to change for each assignment and may have to vary for a couple students who may need a couple adaptations.

Thanks for sharing that link, I enjoyed watching that video! It was also interesting to read the various comments below about the video. I found it interesting how people starting comparing lists and mindmapping and which one they feel work best for different situations.
