Popplet

What is it?

Popplet is an online mind mapping tool that allows users to easily add and organise information. Popplet also allows you to colour-code content, make connections, add comments, and various forms of media, including, text, images, documents, links, videos and drawings.

How do I use it?

Popplet can be used to foster discussion, collaboration, problem-based and peer learning for both face-to-face and online learning activities. For example:

• Brainstorming and mind mapping – Students can collaborate and interact with each by sharing, creating links between ideas and thoughts in real-time and asynchronously.
• Collaborative  note taking  – Students are able to organise ideas and make connections between key concepts collaboratively in real-time and asynchronously.
