The tree //mind mapping// technique is a useful, quick and low- tech (pencil / paper) entry to more complex visualizations.
 * What I have learned:**

The ability to gather large amounts of computational data requires other methods to show overviews without loss of detail. [paraphasing [|Interactive Phylogentic Tree Visualization].] As reinforcement, enrichment and expansion of tree //mind mapping// use, activities may include video lessons which teach content via display of tree mind maps. Both creationists and evolutionists use tree maps to build/support their argument. [Won't go into examples here.] Gamers use complex tree mapping. [|Game Tree Visualization]

In this case the added animations may initially appeal to young students yet may take focus away from the content, though visualizations can be used in ways that increase understanding.

For example: [|Visualizing the Tree of Life] : several different styles **Science Video**: [|Microbial Evolution] (//Unseen Life on Earth// from the Annenberg/CPB Collection) [Tree of Life: links to students knowledge/interest in music] [|Tree map] : maps the structure of trees in a new way [|Word Tree Map] : the frame of reference is built into the model - "I believe" / "I know" etc. [close example to //mind mapping//] [|Tree Visualization] : explores properties and techniques for display Video examples : [|Family Tree Map]
