Have you ever considered using Popplet for mindmapping? It is a marvelous tool that is available as a webtool, as well as an Android or iPad app.

Sadly you are only allowed five free popplets..  I tried out Popplet recently with a Grade 7 class that was learning about medicine in the CAPS curriculum and set them a short 45 minute revision task using this mindmapping tool. The class absolutely loved using it. The beauty of using it was that when the class had finished their popplets they could share them with me online. The task is shown below. We used the webtool found at http://popplet.com/.

Why I like using Popplet

• I love the ease
  with which one can start thinking visually with Popplet.
• It has a great
  ability for one to add one’s own text, video and images as one goes along.
• I love the way one
  can incorporate links and content from around the web
• I especially like
  the collaborative features that make it so easy to work with others and share
  one’s ideas…

Why not try it for yourself!
