Introduction of Ian Hall
Casual Relief Teacher
Information Technology Trainer
I have used iMindMap versions over 10 years. 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 Victorian schools. I have used Tony Buzan many lessons. I still
undertake iMindMap on A3 paper. 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 years…I have
presented to trainers and parents on topic of Skype…
I like using imindmapping personally 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 in cloud.

Chap 2: What is iMindmapping?
Swiss Army Knife
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 meta-
language 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 “Ultimate 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.
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. 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)

Chap 5: DROPTASK
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.
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.
Delegate tasks and manage priorities and deadlines
Collaborate with colleagues in real time

Get updates on your schedule and task progress
Say goodbye to complex project management tools that become a project in themselves, with
convoluted features and overly-complicated interfaces. DropTask is about a simple, visual and
fluid way to handle your workload and complete successful projects.
Example of steps 1 to 5
Step 1
Brainstorm ideas in iMindMap's generative and creative workspace, to capture and grow them
fast. Organise and group those ideas to create a clear overview.

Step 2
Select ideas that you would like to put into action and bring up the Branch Editor. Use the
DropTask tab to send your branch and any attached notes as new tasks to DropTask.
Step 3
You can now move into DropTask's collaborative and fluid task management workspace to
organise your new tasks. Simply drag your new tasks into the relevant project.
Step 4
Add priorities, attach files, update progress, and assign the tasks to your colleagues and
more; all in a flexible, visual environment.
Step 5
Reap the benefits of a simple, smooth process, with plenty of visual feedback, that lets you
generate the right solutions and successfully implement them.
No convoluted features, no jargon.

The export to iMindmap is very straightforward and easy- your groups will be exported as
iMindmap branches and your tasks as descendent child branches.
One of the great things about this export is that you’ll find all of your corresponding branches
in the same colour as you’d originally selected in DropTask, so your user experience is greatly
enhanced by allowing you to make a visual connection.

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.
PM at HP
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
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.

OUTLINE OF iMindMap v 7
 “Let's use our Brain tries to give you some insight on Mind Mapping. Mind Mapping is a
method developed by Tony Buzan. Drawing a Mind Map can give you more insight on
any challenge. Using some basic rules to create a Mind Map in the right state of mind
will tap into your thoughts. You will be amazed of what you are capable of.
How do you know Mind Mapping works for you? Ask yourself if you never ever...: click
on tab "did you never ever..." Look for a challenge that you come across or invent one
for yourself: click on tab "challenge" Juggle your mind and find out if you struggle:
click on tab "struggling?" Roll up your sleaves and start with simple hands-on
mindmapping rules: click on tab "role up your sleaves"
Remember: MMMEE = mindmapping makes everything easier. “(Ref 6)
