Introduction of Ian Hall Casual Relief Teacher Information Technology Trainer

I have been using iMindMap versions over 10 years and will until I pass away. I have done mind maps into journals and personal diary over many years. I was primary teaching in WA from 1981 until 1997. Since then doing casual relief teaching in Melbourne, Bendigo, Inglewood and Ballarat primary schools for past 5 years. I have used Tony Buzan in many lessons. I still undertake iMindMap on A3 paper with textas of many colours. I have undertaken many training sessions with parents, teachers, and students on mindmapping e.g.: info on Ned Kelly or planning events for schools. Tony Buzan deserves a medal for coming up with the sanity-saving concept of Mind Maps, which make difficult mental tasks possible, even pleasurable. Here is a mind map on the topic of Teaching Tips.

Two iMindMaps on Skype communication service sessions over the many yearsâ&#x20AC;ŚI have presented to trainers and parents on topic of Skypeâ&#x20AC;Ś

I like using imindmapping personally as well for creating info on session presenting, interview preparation, update curriculum vitae and planning dreams/goals for 2014. I can saved mind map as screen savers, PDF, embed code and many other ways. I have freedom and cloud account to upload to cloud and do work on my iMindMaps anywhere I was.

Or try the 7 Steps to Making a Mind Map 1. Start in the CENTRE of a blank page turned sideways. Why? Because starting in the centre gives your Brain freedom to spread out in all directions and to express itself more freely and naturally. 2. Use an IMAGE or PICTURE for your central idea. Why? Because an image is worth a thousand words and helps you use your Imagination. A central image is more interesting, keeps you focused, helps you concentrate, and gives your Brain more of a buzz! 3. Use COLOURS throughout. Why? Because colours are as exciting to your Brain as are images. Colour adds extra vibrancy and life to your Mind Map, adds tremendous energy to your Creative Thinking, and is fun! 4. CONNECT your MAIN BRANCHES to the central image and connect your second- and third-level branches to the first and second levels, etc. Why? Because your Brain works by association. It likes to link two (or three, or four) things together. If you connect the branches, you will understand and remember a lot more easily. 5. Make your branches CURVED rather than straight-lined. Why? Because having nothing but straight lines is boring to your Brain. 6. Use ONE KEY WORD PER LINE. Why because single key words give your Mind Map more power and flexibility. 7. Use IMAGES throughout. Why because each image, like the central image, is also worth a thousand words. So if you have only 10 images in your Mind Map, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already the equal of 10,000 words of notes! Reference 9

Chap 2: What is iMindmapping? The Swiss Army Knife of the brain Our brains are divided into the left and right cortex. The left side is dedicated to tasks involving order, logic, words, lists, numbers and analysis, the right side deals with rhythm, colour, imagination and daydreaming. If we want to improve memory, learning and thinking skills we have to use our whole brain. (Ref 1)

“MindMapping, according to the real Buzan, is about image and association. It’s a metalanguage that geniuses across history (think Leonardo) have tapped into by connecting thoughts with images. A typical MindMap has a central theme, and radiating from it, a series of connected words and images. For Buzan and many users of mindmapping, it’s a way to take notes and connect ideas that fits more perfectly with the brain’s way of doing things than a typical list or piece of prose.” (Ref 2) iMindmap is the name created by Tony Buzan also called the “A Ultimate Visual and graphic holistic thinking tool” (Ref 3) Mind Map is a powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlock the potential of the brain. It harnesses the full range of cortical skills - word, image, number, logic, rhythm, colour and spatial awareness - in a single, uniquely powerful manner. In so doing, it gives you the freedom to roam the infinite expanses of your brain.

Laws of Mind Mapping According to the Wiki. A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information. A mind map is often created around a single word or text, placed in the centre, to which associated ideas, words and concepts are added. Major categories radiate from a central node, and lesser categories are sub-branches of larger branches. The idea of visually representing thought for problem solving and organization goes back centuries. (Ref 4) Similar to a road map, a Mind Map will:        

Give you an overview of a large subject/area. Enable you to plan routes/make choices and let you know where you are going and where you have been. Gather and hold large amounts of data. Encourage problem solving by seeing new creative pathways. Enable you to be extremely efficient. Be enjoyable to look at, read, muse over and remember. Attract and hold the eye/brain. Improve and accelerate your learning and thinking skills.

A mind map is:  Good software tool  Intuitive  Easy to use  Remember things  Making better notes  Coming up with ideas  Saving time  Concentrating  Making the most of your time

Ian B Hall CRT in Bendigo Vic Australia

iMindMap is from the Inventor of Mind Mapping iMindMap is Mind Mapping software from the man who invented Mind Mapping, Tony Buzan during the 1960s, his experience at school with the librarian saying that they have no mind mapping book placed him on the path to the idea of creating - Mind mapping. Everything we do is designed to get you thinking creatively and without limitations. Our 40 years of research – more than any other organisation in this field – has culminated in us perfecting the Mind Mapping technique. Mind Map software doesn’t just try to replicate what you’re already doing in a slightly prettier format. It encourages you to think creatively and approach Mind Mapping in a way that is in line with how your brain naturally processes information. (Ref 5)

Editing the properties of a branch has been made easier in iMindMap 7. The branch target now contains a gray segment that, when you click it, causes a dialog box like the one below to pop up over the currently-selected topic.

This enables you to: Toggle it between a regular and a box branch Toggle the branch text between right, left and center alignment Change its color via a pop-up color palette Change its shape (this didn’t work in the beta version I used) Change the appearance of the branch itself via branch art (for example, you can make it look like a pencil, a road, an arm and lightning) The pop-up window contains four other tabs, in addition to branch formatting: DropTask, image, edit and objects. DropTask enables you to integrate the tasks you’ve created in this web-based visual task management tool with your mind maps. The image tab gives you fast access to iMindMap’s drawing tools and image library, as well as a “file” button to import images from your computer. Edit gives you access to cut, copy and paste tools, while “objects” lets you quickly add notes, hypertext links and audio files to a map branch. Why is this valuable? Any time you can enable users to get work done within the mind map, without having to repeatedly move the cursor back to the program’s toolbar, is a plus. Continuing to work within the map is almost always faster, especially for repeated tasks.

Ian B Hall CRT in Bendigo Vic Australia

To move a topic, you must click and drag on the blue segment of the branch target. When you do so, the blue segment turns into a blue circle and you can position it as needed. Not exactly intuitive at first, but once you’ve got the hang of it, this method of moving topics works well. The way the segment transforms into a circle is excellent user feedback that you’re doing it right! Reference 10

You can move it, resize it and draw inside the area. Sketching The last several versions of iMindMap have given you the ability to add sketches to your mind map canvas, but they did so in a separate window. In this new version of ThinkBuzanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind mapping software, you are able to create them directly in the workspace. It provides a nice set of tools for creating common shapes, such a circles, rectangles and polygons, plus brushes, a paint can and more. The controls are simple and intuitive to use, and you can easily resize or drag the sketching region around the workspace, even while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating a sketch- nice! Reference 10

Ian B Hall CRT in Bendigo Vic Australia

“iMindMap 7 insert target in the same way the branch target helps you add content to your mind map with having to use iMindMap 7’s toolbar, the new insert target does so for floating assets. When you double click in a blank area of the workspace, a set of four icons appears, which enable you to quickly add images, floating text, flowcharts and new maps. Clicking on one of these buttons displays another tier of buttons, arrayed in an arc next to it, like the screen shot at right. To select one of these elements to add to your mind map, you can simply click it or drag and drop it. When you first start using the program, a help window pops up that demonstrates via a simple animation how to use the insert target. This is very helpful, but I think this new user interface element could also benefit from tool tips, which would appear on screen as you hover over a button.” Reference 10

This is bound to be confusing for new users. I’ve been using iMindMap for years, and I’m not even sure what all of these commands do. It’s easy to get lost, especially when the “home” button doesn’t take you back to your map and the main toolbar, but to the iMindMap 7 start page. And then there’s the branch and insert targets. Don’t get me wrong – they’re wonderful tools that help users get more work done faster. But as they get more complex, with more segments and buttons, new users may quickly become confused. Without tool tips or other “hints,” they must learn by trial and error what each one does – or RTFM (read the f**king manual). Once you understand what each one does, it’s a very productive way to build and enhance a map. But it just creates a learning curve that’s a little higher for new users.” Reference 10

Chap 6: DROPTASK “Integration with DropTask …iMindMap 7 - DropTask integration As you create mind maps in iMindMap 7, you can easily transfer tasks to DropTask, a visual, web-based tool for project and task tracking (click here to read my review of it). To use this feature, you can either click on the gray segment of the branch target and the DropTask tab in the menu that pops up. The program also displays DropTask information for the current task in the tabbed panel at the side of the workspace. There, you can add a note to the task and send it to DropTask. When it arrives there, it appears in the application’s inbox (as shown in the screenshot at right). This gives you the option of assigning it to a specific project. This is an interesting integration, but with a relatively small population of DropTask users in the world, I question its usefulness to the majority of iMindMap 7 users. iMindMap and DropTask make the perfect pairing, with both focusing on giving you an intuitive and visual environment in which to manage information. So now you can make the most of iMindMap’s creative workspace to generate and organise your ideas, then fire them into DropTask and power them through to successful implementation with DropTask’s fluid approach to task management.”

Reference 10 There is a great article on DropTask Droptask brings a rich visual interface to task management in May 17th, 2013 By Chuck Frey Here at: http://mindmappingsoftwareblog.com/droptask/ or click the picture above.

Ian B Hall CRT in Bendigo Vic Australia

How it works In iMindMap you can send any branch straight into the visual task management app, DropTask, to become a ‘task’. You can also export whole Mind Maps into DropTask, which will become ‘Projects’. Once you export your iMindMap branches into DropTask, individual and actionable task circles will form. You’ll then be able to use DropTask’s powerfully visual task indicators to give your project increased clarity and depth.

“I added a simple flow chart to my mind map, and found the charting tools to be very easy to use. When a shape is selected, two little tabs stick out at the bottom of it that enable you to change its color and shape. While connecting one shape to another, iMindMap 7 provides you with ample visual feedback. When you hover over a shape, a green button appears in the middle of it with a dotted circle rotating around it. This lets you know the program is ready to add a connector line. You simply drag it to the shape to which you want to connect. As soon as your mouse hovers over the edge of the second shape, a similar rotating ring appears to let you know you’re in the right spot to drop the line (see screen shot below, which depicts me joining shapes C and the green parallelogram E).”

“Presentation templates Developer ThinkBuzan debuted a presentation builder in iMindMap 6. In version 7, it has added templates to help users create presentations even faster. Adding logos and backgrounds is now easier, too. When you click on the “present” button in the program’s toolbar, a window pops up that asks you what kind of presentation you plan to create – a meeting, teaching, big overview or indepth talk (like the screen shot above). Helpful instructions explain what you’ll get if you select each option. You can also build your own presentation. Keep in mind that in the parlance of iMindMap 7, a presentation “template” doesn’t mean a set of colors and styles – it has to do with how the program displays each topic, the type of transitions used between slides and the speed at which it does so.

iMindMap 7 - presentation templates selected “meeting,” and iMindMap 7 automatically created a set of slides where one branch appeared at a time in a slide-by-slide view, with quick transitions between them. I then used the new logo and background controls to add these elements to my slides (see screenshot at right). Logos appear in the lower right corner of each slide; you can’t move them around, and it’s up to you to select an image with a transparent background so you don’t get a white box around it when you add a background (which happened in the screen shot – see the logo in slide 2?). I then switched to “in-depth talk” and re-ran my presentation. The program now displayed all of my map’s branches in every slide, but simply zoomed and repositioned the map to center on each topic in succession. But because each slide displayed all of the topics and the branches were right next to each other, the effect was like watching my mind map bounce around on screen. To my way of thinking, this would probably be somewhat disconcerting to people viewing a presentation given in this style.

Ian B Hall CRT in Bendigo Vic Australia

Despite this minor nitpick, I like the way the presentation builder is designed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to use and behaves intuitively.â&#x20AC;? Reference 10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FnGKNPwTh4&feature=em-uploademail

Chapter 23 EDUCATION IDEAS In education today, teachers face the challenge of keeping tech savvy, information overloaded students engaged. So, how exactly can you ensure your students remain attentive throughout the lesson, and retain the information after they leave the classroom? Mind Maps will drastically improve the way you deliver lessons and present concepts, making them highly engaging and truly unforgettable. Mind Maps present concepts in a clear and concise manner. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of consolidating large amounts of data on to one page, and bringing the key facts into focus. This gives your students a clear overview of the topic and helps break down complicated information into easily digestible chunks.

Incorporated in to a Mind Map are all of the elements that support memory; vibrant colours, interesting shapes, imagery and a radiating structure that helps us to identify associations between them. Students are much more likely to retain and recall information from a Mind Map than if they were reading from linear, monotonous lists.

Deliver your lesson using Mind Mapping software, such as iMindMap, and you can benefit from its powerful presentation features. Read on to drill down into the specific ways the software can help you deliver lessons with real impact.

Build your Mind Map in 3 easy steps 1) Create your central idea Your central idea will represent the theme that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to explore in the lesson, where all other topic information will stem from. Try to include a supporting image that reflects the topic, as our brains respond better to visual stimuli. 2) Add branches to your map Next, add your branches. The main branches that flow from the central idea will be your topicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key themes, and each theme can be further explored by adding child branches.

Ian B Hall CRT in Bendigo Vic Australia

101

Make your branches vibrant and compelling using iMindMap’s Branch Art feature. They will not only capture your students’ attention, but your students will associate colours and designs with certain topics, which will help them when trying to remember information. 3) Add keywords to your branches When adding text to your branches, try to use one keyword per branch as keywords trigger connections in your brain, so that you can recall a greater quantity of information and generate more ideas. Overloading your students with information will have the opposite effect. Additionally, inserting supporting images and icons from the iMindMap Properties Panel will further reinforce the relation of key facts.

Why use iMindMap for delivering lessons? iMindMap’s intuitive Presentation Builder has everything you need to build captivating presentations for delivering lessons. For starters, there’s a ready-made template for teaching, so most of the hard work is already done for you. Add backgrounds to your Mind Map to effortlessly jazz up your presentation, and inject some excitement by adding links --Inserting Links - iMindMap 7 to your branches that open various multimedia, such as music and videos to keep your lessons varied and your students engrossed. If you really want to wow your students, you can transform iMindMap Presentation into 3D. Zoom in on branches as you explain each topic, and effortlessly go back and review other topics if necessary.

Ian B Hall CRT in Bendigo Vic Australia

102

Hint: iMindMap not only gives you the platform for delivering lessons with real impact, it also comes in handy after the lesson has taken place. Export your presentation as a Word Document or image to create hand-outs for your students, or even export it as a video and upload it straight to YouTube. iMindMap will turn any presentation into an informative, visually stimulating display, guaranteed to keep students engaged and motivated throughout lessons.

Here is comments from Erick H. He is in the LinkedIn - Mind Map User Group (MMUG) created by Ruud Rensink, Chairman at Mensa, The High IQ Society.

Erick H I have been using this tool for several years now since version 4. I think. I am glad they keep improving each year to bring more flexibility and innovation into the Mind Mapping community. I am a visual thinker passionate and Mind Mapping lover. I use it for work, personal grow and almost anything where a mind map can be applied to. One thing though is that I have been searching for the ultimate, do it all, 4x4, DMM tool. I can say I am still searching. I personally own licenses for Mindjet, Novamind, IMM and Dropmind (and the brain but this one falls in another category) and none of these has fulfilled my needs 100%. iMindmap Ultimate - I think is the best tool for creativity and flexibility. Coming from Buzan's trademark company, makes honor to the foundations of mind mapping principles, offering a lot of flexibility, organic look and feel and design options. Presentations are great too however I still not feeling comfortable to use for any business or formal work presentations. I probably need to explore more on this new version but I highly recommend if you want to express to the Ian B Hall CRT in Bendigo Vic Australia

highest in the mind mapping method. Maybe, space optimization has some room for improvement in future versions and alternative business like templates and viewer tool for sharing maps. I mainly use this tool when I need to achieve an artistic work and when I am in my creative mood.

“In the last few years the quality of Mind Mapping software has increased dramatically and is now moving even faster. We recommend iMindMap Ultimate as the best Mind Mapping software, and it is the official Buzan software. MindGenius V3 is also terrific, and does more than just Mind Mapping, but isn't as 'Map like' as iMindMap” “Mind Maps are one of the most powerful tools in your Deliberate Creativity and Innovation toolkit. Building on the significant research and development done by Tony Buzan over 40 years, this eModule is delivered by Jennifer Goddard, Tony's Senior Master Trainer and cofounder of Mindwerx International.” “Mind Maps work with your brain and in this program you will begin to develop brain friendly learning skills that unleash personal genius and creativity.” Posted by: Bill Jarrard on December 12th, 2010 DCI-05 Mind Mapping course (Reference 7)

SURVEYS ON MINDMAPPING Web site: http://lifehacker.com/5188833/hive-five-five-best-mind-mapping-applications iMindMap (Windows/Mac/Linux, $99-295) iMindMap can claim two distinctions among the top five tools. First, it's the biggest download—weighing in at 135MB. Second it's the only application on the list developed by Tony Buzan—who lays claim to being the inventor of the mind map. iMindMap takes a different approach to mapping than the other applications in the list. Rather than create new nodes off the main idea by adding boxes, nodes are created by clicking in the centre or the main idea and drawing away from it with the mouse. Each new idea is a branch off the centre. Strangely, many of basic feature available in free mind-mapping software are only found in the more expensive versions of iMindMap, like the ability to expand and collapse branches. Mind maps created in iMindMap can be exported as PDF, JPG, PNG and text outline; a 7 day trial is available.

Tony Buzan Click the picture for more Professional Development info.

Since he was a child Tony Buzan has been enchanted by what he describes as the power and beauty of the mind. He has dedicated his adult life firstly to encouraging all around him to be aware of the latent brainpower that we all possess and secondly to teach a whole range of memory and study techniques that aim to dramatically improve our performance. His radical note-taking method known as Mind-Mapping is designed to mirror the construction of the human brain. He is co-founder of the Mind Sports Olympiad – an annual event where would be champions meet up to do battle over games like chess, backgammon, draughts and scrabble.
