This app is so simple to use that it is great for any age and does lend itself very well for acting as a virtual graphic organizer. A great fit is the main idea and details concept you see above, but there are many more uses if you think beyond the web format. These could include:
- timeline
- summarize story events in chronological order
- historical events
- family tree
- book characters
- historical figures
- listing steps in a process
- science experiment
- math problem
- snap photos with the camera to include with each step!
- basic brainstorming
- organizing words
- synonyms
- antonyms
- Spanish words or phrases
- virtually any visual you'd like students to create with text and/or images!
And since our district has access to Britannica ImageQuest, our students have an enormous resource for license-free images to add to their Popplets from their iPads.
If you combine Popplet with another app for some app-smashing, you can really expand on what students get out of it. Some examples in which students can insert their Popplet, when students save their Popplet as an image (JPEG) file, based on our current 1st-5th app list:
How have you used or how would you use Popplet with your students?
