In recent years,Multimedia aided instruction has been universally employed and also strongly advocated by all departments of education. Hardware facilities have been basically available through continuous complement in many cities. The monopoly of traditional demo software PPT has also been greatly impacted by the new ones such as, Prezi and Focusky. Under this condition, the researchers subjected the art school senior to the actual experiment based on the Visualization theory, Constructivism theory, Learning Pyramid theory and other theories. They researched the application of the mind map in the geography teaching mainly through questionnaires, diagnostic tests, interviews among three thousand teachers and students in Chengdu International Rhythmic Gymnastics School. By experimental comparison, finally, they found this kind of teaching method can efficiently interest students, and consummate systematicness and completeness, and improve the teaching effects when they discussed the application of the mind map in reviewing "agricultural production activities" for the college entrance examination with the utilization of Focusky, the latest demo tool in the principle of mind map.
