Finding Popplet

I was searching various mind-mapping resources online and I came across Popplet. Immediately, the site offers more colour and varioution than bubbl.us. I enjoyed discovering different formats and it was a great tool when wanting to see examples of mind-maps. There were numerous subject areas of mind-maps to view and to use as templates. Educational mind-maps included: 'Facts about the Earth,' 'Coming of the American Revolution,' and this useful example on teaching a lesson: successful lesson plan

Popplet helps students think and learn visually. You can insert images into the mind-map and to me; this meant it was more visually pleasing than the Bubbl.us mind-map that I had created. Popplet helps students capture facts, thoughts and images and correlates a relationship between them. I found this function appealing and easy to use and it made me realize how necessary it is to explore various versions of teaching methods. Just as we try out different practical methods of teaching, so we should keep researching different ICT versions. Through researching, I was able to find a method of mind-mapping that suited me even more. I won't just stick in my safe zone of doing mind-maps on bubbl.us, I will now use Popplet and especially in-class as it is a great tool for the students to use themselves.
