1 Tech Guide XMind Where to find it: What it is: XMind is a free, open source multimedia software package. Used for mind mapping and visually organizing information and ideas. XMind must be downloaded to your computer in order to use it. For a price, a pro version has advanced features. What it does: Allows you to create maps by typing in individual ideas and connecting them to each other. You may easily add hyperlinks, pictures and other media to any item in your map, and create backgrounds, fonts and other elements to give your map visual style. Map workbooks s may contain a single map or many, which can be sequenced and run like a slide show presentation. Click a button and you can work with a text outline view of your map, which may be exported to a word processer. Upload your map to the Xmind web site to share, where others may post comments on your map. How it can be used for learning: Mind mapping organizers can be powerful for learning because they help make learners thinking visual. Visual learning is a proven method in which ideas, concepts, data and other information are associated with images and represented graphically. There is ample documentation in education research about the value of mind maps for learning. Concept maps and webs show how different categories of information relate to one another, support comparisons, and provide structure for ideas and facts in a way that gives learners a flexible framework for visualizing and prioritizing information. XMind can be used for brainstorming, sequencing and relating ideas, planning, storyboarding, outlining, and even creating presentations. Last updated: 2/29/12 Page 1

2 Often, a mind mapping activity is a great way to start a unit. Students might brainstorm everything they already know about a topic. The class might revisit and revise a mind map as their understanding of a topic becomes more complex, as a way of reflecting on their growing understanding. During guided activities, students may use maps to generate ideas, and for culminating projects, students might use a visual organizer to plan work, gather and organize research, create an outline, or develop a storyboard. For more information. Tutorial: Here is a very useful video tutorial made by a teacher that will walk you through the basics of using XMind. XMind Help Center More XMind demos What to do when you get there Download & Install The Software When you get to the XMind web site, click on the Downloads button under XMind for Individuals. Download and install the software on your laptop. Open the application. Last updated: 2/29/12 Page 2

3 You will see a screen like this: Explore the XMind Interface The large area to the left is the map frame. It will already have one topic box in it labeled Central Topic. The map frame is where you will create your mind map. To enlarge the view: Move the slider at the bottom of the mind map frame left or right. Toolbar: The bar at the top of the window has a selection of tools to help you create the map by adding links, formatting the background and fonts, arranging topic boxes, etc. Other tools allow you to save, print, upload, etc. In order to use these tools, you must first select a topic box. When you hold your cursor over one of the tools, text will appear telling you what it does. All of the tools are also operable from the drop-down menus in the menu bar at the top of the application. Note that some of the tools say Pro next to them. You will not be able to use these unless you purchase the Pro version of Xmind. Last updated: 2/29/12 Page 3

4 Click on the individual tools to see what happens. You won t break anything. If something is added to your map that you do not like, select the item and hit the delete (or backspace) key, or click Undo in the Edit menu. Overview: On the right side of the screen, click the Overview tab in the top frame. A thumbnail image of your map will appear. Drag the red square to move it. What is in the red square will be displayed in the map frame. This is useful for isolating parts of very large maps. Outline: Next click the Outline tab in the top frame on the right. This is a text-based view of your mind map in outline form. Levels of indentation as well as letter symbols indicate the hierarchy position of each topic, subtopic and so forth. Click the triangles next to each item to expand and collapse the sub-topics. Move a subtopic by dragging it left or right, up or down to change its place in map and the hierarchy. Notice that when you do this in outline view, it revises your visual map! Like maps, outlines may be exported in several formats. Last updated: 2/29/12 Page 4

5 Markers: The bottom frame on the right side of the screen has icons and images that you can drag into a topic box to make it a picture. Try it! You or your students can create your own sets of markers by uploading any digital images you like. These will appear at the bottom of the Marker frame under My Markers. To do so, follow this menu path: Xmind Preferences Mindmap Markers Add markers Then use the dialogue box to locate and upload your images. Begin making a mind map Create a central topic: Click on the central topic box and type a topic label (for example, My Seder ). To edit what is typed in any topic box, just double click it. Connect a sub-topic: To add another item connected to the central topic, click on the topic again, then hit the return key. Alternately, you can go to the Insert menu to add a sub-topic. A new item will appear with a link connecting it to the central topic. Topics connected directly to a central topic are called brother topics. Last updated: 2/29/12 Page 5

6 Create another level of topics: If you want, you can create another sub-level of topics by clicking on a subtopic and hitting the tab key. Alternately, you can go to the Insert menu. Topics connected to sub-topics are called children. From the Insert menu, you may also create a separate hierarchy in your map, including a main topic, called a parent, with its own subtopics and sub-sub topics. Finally, you can create floating topic boxes that are unconnected to anything. Rearrange topic boxes by dragging them. Links and sub-topics will move with the topic box. REMEMBER TO SAVE YOUR WORK FREQUENTLY. Change the Appearance of Your Map Using themes and styles, you can change the background, color scheme, arrow style, text style and other visual elements of your mind map. Apply a theme: Follow the menu path View Themes. A themes frame will appear across the screen. Selecting one of the themes will apply it to your map. If you do not like the theme, choose another. To close the themes frame, click the X on the Themes tab. Last updated: 2/29/12 Page 6

7 Apply styles: Follow the menu path View Styles. The style frame will appear on the right side at the top. Scroll down to see options for topic boxes, arrows and links, boundaries, and sheet background. Try clicking on one of each to see what happens to your map. Add a hyperlink: To add a live hyperlink to a topic box, copy the link for the destination site, select the topic box, then follow this menu path: Modify Hyperlink. In the dialogue box, paste the web hyperlink you copied. Click OK. Note that you also may create a link to a document or another topic (even one in a different map sheet). The topic box will now have a bold border around it indicating a hyperlink has been added. Try clicking the new hyperlinked topic box to go to the web site or file. Last updated: 2/29/12 Page 7

8 Exporting and Uploading a map: An image (not revisable online) of any map you create can be exported to the XMind web site or saved as a file to be ed, added to your design in our Moodle, or placed in a document, slide show, Voice Thread, or a web page, among other places. Exporting a map: Follow this menu path to export a map: File Export. Select the format in which you want to save the map (choose from HTML (a web page), image, text or XMind workbook. Choose in the dialogue box where you want to store your map. Click save. Create a free XMind account: Before you can use the XMind web site s sharing features, you must set up a free account if you have not already done so. Go the the XMind web site and click Set Up Account in the upper right menu bar. Fill in the dialogue box, choosing a user name and password. Note down and keep this information! Last updated: 2/29/12 Page 8

9 Uploading a map to the XMind web site: From the XMind sofware, follow this menu path: File Upload. In the General tab, fill in a title and description of your map. In the Privacy tab, select how public you want your map to be. In the Thumbnail tab, move the slider to choose what visitors will firs see when they view your map. Click Upload. To see your uploaded file: Go to the XMind web site. Log in by clicking My Account at the upper right of the screen. This will bring you to a menu of your uploaded maps. To share your map with others: Click on the Share button beneath the map to send your map in an or post it to a social network. You also may copy and paste the URL provided at the lower right of the screen to create a link to your map in our Moodle, a wiki, or another web site.
