2. So what is bubbl.us?
 Bubble us is a fun brainstorming program
where you can make mind maps of all
different colours.
 It is simple and quick

3. Help sheet Start brainstorming
This is the bubbl.us homepage. It gives you
the option to create an account but it is
optional. To begin click on the start
brainstorming option. There is also a help
sheet if you are unsure.

5. Creating your header
 I am going to create a mind map about web2tools. You
begin by clicking on the “start here”
 Then highlight it and delete it
 Now Type in your title, in my case it is “web2tools”

6. Changing the size and colour
 If you hover your mouse over the title it gives you 4
options:
 Change the colour
 Size
 Connect
 Delete
 To change the colour you click on the colour option than
select the colour.
 To change the size you click either the up or the down
arrow to alter the size of the text.
 “Connect” is to draw a branch between two ideas to connect
them.
 And delete is obviously to delete that idea an idea (this
wont delete any connected to it.)

5 subheadings.

8. New child bubble option

branch to your
mind map. You
hover your
mouse over one
of the
subheadings then
click on: ” new
child bubble”
