What a great FREE tool for
school. Popplet is a platform for your ideas. Its super simple interface frees you to focus your thought on task at hand. With Popplet you can capture your ideas and
sort them visually in realtime.
I had used the tool to write
chapter summary (each popplet is one chapter) for the book "Watsons go to
Birmingham". Lines can be drawn
between the popplet to show the connection and sequence of the chapters in the book. Popplet.com can help students analyze the
sequence of events in their reading comprehension. In the sixth grade ELA class where I did
student teaching, students had to work on a series of drill / practice skill
book prior to the high stake test. One
of reading skill being practice is "Sequence" which help student
understand the order/sequence of events in
reading comprehension. A good use
of Popplet is to have student use popplet to draw a sequence-of-events diagram
to support their understanding of the text.
Another ideas Popplet will be useful is in drawing a character map or information map for a story
that students are reading.
