Popplet is a tool that allows users to visualize ideas. Teachers and students can create graphic organizers, timelines, and many other forms of visual organization. Popplet's strength as a collaborative brainstorming tool, however, should not lead teachers to overlook its usefulness as an effective presentation tool.
Getting Started
Registering with Popplet takes only a few minutes and includes a tutorial that guides new users in understanding the basic features. Once registered, users can begin developing their first projects by creating a popple: a balloon or textbox. By double-clicking on the Popplet canvas, text can be added, aligned, and resized in each new popple. Likewise, videos and images can be imported via Facebook, Flickr, or YouTube, or from any file saved on the computer. Users can also use the drawing tool to freely write notes or sketch a diagram. A comment function allows other users to leave feedback on individual popples. Finally, users can take advantage of color coding to group and organize their Popplet canvases.
