Dave Gray Collection: Visual thinking Ma conception de l’apprentissage du mind mapping : pédagogie intuitive Mon intervention à la journée d’échange sur le mind mapping organisée par Pierre Mongin, m’a fait constaté que les techniques que j’utilise sont totalement différentes de ce qui se fait ailleurs et que les statistiques d’adhésion à l’outil à long terme sont tout à fait exceptionnelles.
