Use the guidelines below to help you create functional Prezi.
 * __Resource Guide: How to create a Mind Map__**

The following are “ Simple Rules For Effective Mind Maps” from //How to Build a Mind Map// (Basu, 2010):

 * Write down the main or central idea and put it in the middle of your diagram or presentation.**
 * Place supporting ideas around the central one. “**Connect all ideas with meaningful relationships. Use lines, colored lines, shapes, pictures, etc. to graphically describe ideas and relationships.”
 * Leave plenty of room to grow your ideas as more connections, ideas and relationships come to mind.**
 * And the final suggestion is to “**Go with the flow.”
