This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of ICT-based concept mapping as a means for students to make notes and remember the concepts and facts of economic subjects. Computer based learning can produce smart learning environment that encourages students to think critically and creatively. Ten lower sixth form students from a school in Negeri Sembilan serve as respondents of this study. The questionnaire given to the students before and after completing the process of teaching using this method. Original findings before implementing this method showed 70% of students do not like to copy the notes in the form of linear and difficult to understand concepts and economic facts and implemented after the study found 80% of students believe the use of ICT-based mind maps can help students remember facts and concepts in a more systematic and organized and make a note of interest to use ICT-based concept map. Results of this study showed the use of ICT-based concept mapping has shown positive effects in enhancing recall concepts and facts, make a note of the interest for students to revise and enhance students' creativity.
