POPPLET: Another WEB 2.0 tool.

POPPLET is a platform which allows users to visualize connections between ideas and bits of information by organizing them into a graphic map. 

It is easy and simple. It provides blank "bubbles" and the tools to fill them in with images or texts. Each of the bubble contains individual ideas. A single mouse click allows users to zoom in on a specific area of the graphic.

POPPLET offers an appealing option for supporting visual learners. It can be used by students to present online research projects. Teachers can also use POPPLET to help students organize their ideas before writing a story, letter, article, among others.

I created a POPPLET about HALLOWEEN. The aim of this graphic map is to activate previous knowledge using pictures related to the topic. It is thought to be used in the Presentation stage of the lesson. It can also be used to help students write about this celebration. They can add more information and connect the ideas in a different way. Moreover, students can look for information about the origins of HALLOWEEN, its traditions and supersticions.
