La técnica de los Mapas Mentales parte del pensamiento irradiante, que consiste en establecer múltiples relaciones ramificadas entre los conceptos e ideas, a partir de una idea-eje o núcleo central. Constituyen la técnica que mejor se adapta al funcionamiento del cerebro, consiguiendo un mayor rendimiento, mediante el uso de las imágenes, los símbolos, el color y la palabra. Los mapas mentales garantizan el desarrollo de las capacidades mentales, facilitan el desarrollo de la autoestima y la cooperación en el alumnado y hacen del proceso de aprendizaje una experiencia estimulante, entretenida y eficaz en sus resultados. El libro incluye una descripción 'paso a paso' para utilizar Powerpoint en la elaboración de mapas mentales.

A Nicolás Fernández Miranda le dijeron que nunca sería bueno en Matemática y unos años después se recibió de Contador Público, con honores. Al convertirse en profesor, descubrió que había algo que no estaba bien en el sistema educativo, y era que nadie se había preocupado por enseñarles, ni a sus alumnos ni a él mismo, cómo aprender. Gracias a su pasado, descubrió que su vocación era compartir con el mundo sus conocimientos en la neurociencia aplicada al aprendizaje. Desde entonces, en sus conferencias, en sus clases y en sus redes sociales comparte videos, hacks y métodos en los que busca demostrarles a sus seguidores que aprender es fácil, divertido y necesario. Entender cómo funcionan los procesos de aprendizaje y productividad puede cambiar la vida de todos.

This book presents the proceedings of International Conference on Knowledge Society: Technology, Sustainability and Educational Innovation (TSIE 2019). The conference, which was held at UTN in Ibarra, Ecuador, on 3–5 July 2019, allowed participants and speakers to share their research and findings on emerging and innovative global issues. The conference was organized in collaboration with a number of research groups: Group for the Scientific Research Network (e-CIER); Research Group in Educational Innovation and Technology, University of Salamanca, Spain(GITE-USAL); International Research Group for Heritage and Sustainability (GIIPS), and the Social Science Research Group (GICS). In addition, it had the endorsement of the RedCLARA, e-science, Fidal Foundation, Red CEDIA, IEEE, Microsoft, Business IT, Adobe, and Argo Systems. The term “knowledge society” can be understood as the management, understanding and co-creation of knowledge oriented toward the sustainable development and positive transformation of society.
