I discovered Popplet through our Periodic Table of Ed Tech assignment and have already incorporated it in my Spanish 4 class. They are currently working on group projects and are required to use this as one of their tools. Popplet is an app to organize ideas in a mind-mapping format. The user can post ideas, notes, sources, etc and put them together and create a mindmap. The one feature I do like is that you can add other popplets from other users into one popplet. The students have to do their research this weekend and add their findings to their popplets. They have to provide links, media and pictures. On Monday, the students will then combine their popplets into one popplet. This will be an easy way to keep all of their findings organized and in one place, and it will also let me keep track on who is contributing and who is completing their work.
I also chose Poplet as one of the new resources I learned from the Periodic Table of Tech.. That is great you are already using it. You will get a lot out of the program if you actually use all the new resources you learn about.
