Mind maps can have a couple of uses in class. Doing one on the first day on all of the things going on in students' lives will help me get to know them better. I would do this by leading by example on the whiteboard in the classroom and have students do their own mind maps on paper.
Another day-one mind map could be on the class topic. What do my students know about what we are going to learn in the class? After doing the personal mind map they could draw one based on the most important events, people, and changes that occurred during the period covered by the class. This could then be repeated at the end of the class to see how their perspectives changed.
And mind maps can work for individual topics or lectures, even assignments.
