Popplet - a platform for ideas

[Susan Stephenson, the Book Chook]

 

 

Popplet can best be described as a platform for ideas. It helps us explore ideas, a little like a mindmap. Or we can just collect ideas and represent them either visually, in text, or both. 

Once you register/sign in, you're coached to begin exploring Popplet's features. Useful idea! Basically, you have a working screen, and you double click on it to make a popple - a little frame inside which you can add text, images from the internet or your commuter, or draw. You can change the colour of the frame and move it around too - it's very manoeuvrable. If you change your mind about anything, one click and it's editable again. 

When you've assembled all your popples, you can link them to highlight their relationships. The whole popplet can then be re-edited, perhaps a different background colour chosen, and you can either print it or export it as a pdf or jpg file, or share it and make it public. The whole popplet experience is fast, easy and reasonably intuitive.

 

I have some ideas for using Popplet with kids on my blog.
