Abstract :
Mind map proposed by Tony Buzan and meaningful learning proposed by D. P.

According to the research and application, they still have some potential for improving the interaction in classes. In addition, with the rapid development of information technology and Internet, especially the occurrence of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), it is possible to improve the interaction in classes further. Based on it, this paper presented a meaningful learning method for junior high school students via cooperative mind map, which is under the background of information technology education. Examples indicate that this method can improve the interaction in classes and archive better teaching results.
