Hello and welcome to another live stream I
do try and do it around 10 o'clock today, I realise I'm a bit early at nine 17.
I just fit it in when I can.
So let's talk about today's episode and today's episode is another ten minute
challenge and this time I'm doing mind mapping in Doodly.
Now I think Doodly is very good for mind
mapping and we've looked at some really good use cases of Doodly before and those
things have been things like off the top of my head in a live stream flow chart.
So I thought I thought flowcharts was really good.
Mind mapping is another one that I think will be really good.
So just going to drop my audio down a bit for those who are new.
Sorry, wrong thing.
For those of you who have just come in or
you're watching again I'm Big G, I make videos about video editing, video making,
how to do explainer videos, tutorials, everything to do with making you
everything to do with making videos that you may put on YouTube.
So let's go into Doodly now.
Here we've got my blank canvas.
Last week I had the sizing wrong, so this bit got cut off.
I do apologise for that, but I fixed it now.
So I'm going to give myself ten minutes and I'm going to make a mind map.
Ten minutes starts now, so I'm going to go for some text.
I want it to look like writing and we're going to do sort of a chemistry lesson.
And clearly, I can't spell chemistry, chemistry
and we're going to make that big.
And that's going to go in the centre.
Now we're going have a prop and we're going to go for
bubble.
So we're going to try and put it in a bubble.
Probably this is the best.
Now here we're going to have a problem.
See that problem.
So let's set that to the back
and chemistry fits in.
But it does mean I can't really select, oh I can select my chemistry.
Normally you have trouble here now.
I suspect we're going to have trouble
because we are going to have a smart erase problem.
So I'm going to preview this.
I've also gone for glass board.
I think that looks much better.
Oh, fantastic.
We don't have a smart erase problem.
The next thing we need is a line
because we're going to use lines to connect it.
Now
we're going to have a problem with line
because it's something to do with Doodly just to save my self time.
I'm going to go for this Dashed vertical.
Now, here's the problem.
If I make this line longer,
it makes it a little bit thicker.
See that it gets thicker.
I don't know if pressing shift does anything.
No control. No.
Okay, so I've got my line.
So I'm going to go back, I'm going to copy this.
I've got all I need so.
Need to be clever about how we do this, so.
I want to make this smaller.
Let's have one coming straight up.
in Fact it doesn't even need to go that high, does it?
Let's have one there.
So here we're going to have.
My spare, my microphone's in the way.
That's why my spending so bad states, and that's going to be made smaller
so states of matter are going to have.
Okay, so
let's copy and paste.
So we want to try and get things in the right order.
So can you think of a state of matter.
Hmmm.
I can
it...solid.
Already I'm finding I'm running out of room, so.
I want to put that at the back.
I want to move this down.
Yeah, I freed up some room, Solid OK,
and a copy.
No.
Copy that and paste that.
I'm going to go over here.
And copy this and paste it.
Here, we're going to go for gas.
So I think this I think this would just be fiddly to do with the software.
I do think Doodly really lends itself well to this.
I
think that's a bird landing on my roof, if you can hear a strange sort of noise,
this needs to be really small.
Not sure I can't get that any smaller.
So I have to line up that, I have to put that right to the back
and I have to put that to the front. Mm.
That's not good, is it?
Right.
But I can't do anything about that.
Copy paste again, if anyone's watching for Doodly, have a duplicate button please.
Liquid's
I quit and I spelt it correctly.
No, I'm just going to put it in there so
it goes over that line and I'm going to put that there.
So it goes over the line as well. Yep.
So now we can have different I'm going to put in a different line.
Because we're going to have some connections between these things.
This is fiddly, but it's not too bad.
So that was the last one.
Copy that paste that.
Now, when it goes from a liquid to a gas,
it's I'm talking about a chemical that's
evaporate and I need I want to make that really small.
Of course, when it goes the other way.
That is condense.
Four minutes left, four minutes left, can you believe that?
And I want that to goon.
These need to sort of align with the line,
There we are
right.
OK,
who at home knows when a liquid goes to a solid?
What's that?
Let's try and get those to line up, copy and paste that
liquid to a solid
evaporate.
And a solid to a liquid, everyone should know that.
Three minutes left melt.
OK,
so I the only thing I don't like is this.
Is there anything better?
Then that. Line, let'ss have a look for connecter.
Arrow.
An arrow might be better.
What there. Let's have a look
if an arrow's better?
I'm just going to try the big arrow,
because by the time you make it fit in,
might be.
All right, that one I'm going to I'm going to delete it.
Yep,
I'm gonna slot this in here.
Just works better.
Space them apart.
So now I need to get that arrow,
all the way up here to be in the right place.
OK, I need to get rid of this, I don't need that anymore.
I have one minute left, so I think I'm going to do.
Put some movement in,
I'm going to adjust these, right, so I don't need three seconds for that.
need 1.5.
Want, the word chemistry then one and a half and half, three seconds for that no
think we can go with a second, I should
have changed this, so I didn't need to keep duplicating it.
I don't mind if the words take a long time
to write, but I don't think the lines need a long time to write
draw, I should say.
So, lets, step that down to one, huh?
Everything seems OK in terms of thingamajig, right?
Let's get this done.
Let's get
zooming in. Sometimes I find when you zoom in seven
seconds left, it looks a little bit jittery.
Two seconds left. That's it.
That's my 10 minutes. Turn off their.
Right.
Oh, where does that where does the time go?
Itjust goes.
That's not right. Let's have a look at preview.
I'm going to save that much actually.
Here we go, Click off that.
Chemistry.
That's good.
Uh.
Hold on, hold on, right,
that needs to go
to the back, right?
Slightly over my 10 my 10 minutes there.
Let's have another look.
That's why I did it that way.
So obviously with chemistry, there's an awful lot more I could do and talk about,
um, but I'm not going to, as I ran out of time.
The one the only thing I will change is
I want to make that more subtle.
In fact, I think I want to do it the other way around.
I want to do it the other way around now, I put this at the top because I was hoping
I'd have more time and I get lots more things off, but I've only got one branch
of chemistry done, which is the states of matter.
The other thing
is, I think I would change the order.
So we'd have states
then a line.
Solid.
Yeah, let's have a quick look at that.
I think that looks pretty good. That's pretty good.
That's a pretty good way to convey a topic in mind map.
It doesn't have to be for revision, but teachers could use this.
You could use this to cover lots and you
could see a mind map gradually unfold being drawn in.
I went for the glass board.
I personally think that looks the best.
Of course, you might want to go for just the standard whiteboard or a chalkboard.
There's one more little tweak I'm going to make I'm just going to rotate that.
That's really subtle, I've rotated it, so it just covers the
that line up for it and not just going to make it bigger.
And now my rotation is completely lost.
There we are, and this.
In fact because I haven't put much in, I can afford to make that a lot bigger.
I could have.
SI just want a degree, kind of ahhh.
That's better.
Yeah, so that's good.
This line here
probably just make that a little bit shorter.
Happy with the other line.
Yeah, I'm really happy about that.
That's really good.
Excellent.
And I did that all in ten minutes.
So I want to do a proper one.
You're probably looking at around 40 minutes, but there we are. Anyway.
Do check out my other ten minute challenges and Doodly where I show what
you can do in Doodly in a short amount of time.
Really. I think if you're spending a long time in
something in Doodly, it's not the right bit of software.
The idea of Doodly for me is to create
quick videos that summarise things really well.
So this is why I think it's ideal for mind maps and flowcharts.
It looks good.
You can add in movements and it shouldn't be taking you too long.
Hence why do these ten minute changes.
Anyway have a wonderful weekend and
hopefully I'll see you next Saturday between nine and ten.
Keep safe and I'll see you later.
