Popplet is a simple and easy-to-use brainstorming app. It helps users develop stronger organisational, memory, and writing skills.
It combines a great number of features for creating mind maps into one package. It is simple enough for a Kindergartner learning simple shapes, but robust enough for a high-schooler to map out a history timeline.
It can be utilized in any language because it is a very visual app. It is available online on the web, or you can download the app to your Ipad or Iphone.
The app allows kids to insert words, images, and their own drawings to help kids who benefit from visual presentation. It also has many uses, including classroom use for instruction and student projects. You can draw or insert images and videos from Flickr, Facebook, You Tube, and even your desktop.
With its easy and fun method of visually organizing ideas, Popplet offers teachers and students many potential classroom applications.
It is a useful tool to create charts, trees, timelines, visual learning, mind map learning or essay planning.
Popplet is a great tool for those sen students who have reading and writing difficulties.
