There are often so many computer tools to choose from that it becomes overwhelming. I would love to give Popplet a try with my fourth graders this fall. I had seen it over the past few years, but have never explored it. I love the looks of the project for this course that was done using Popplet.
I will also explore Pearltrees at some point, but don't see it happening before the start of school. Popplet on the other hand, will be checked out soon. My students do a lot of webs with the language arts teacher. If this could be done, it might encourage her to incorporate it into her classes.
A friend and I talked about Popplet at a writing conference this summer, and she said her 4th grade class used it frequently last year. She said they didn't require much practice time before they were independently using it for a lot of different projects. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this input! I find it to be most helpful and encouraging!
DeleteIt's great that you have picked a tool that you plan to implement with your students.
ReplyDeletePopplet seemed very easy. I am also looking forward to using it with grades 2-4.
