    This summarizes a document describing the Popplet mind mapping application. It suggests having students create a class Popplet map throughout the semester to connect topics studied in class. Students would work in groups to add to the map weekly, synthesizing that week's lessons. By the end of the year students would have a completed mind map of everything covered, which they could reference later. The integration idea would rate a 2 or 3 on a scale, as it could significantly enhance lessons and help students better understand concepts by receiving multiple explanations of difficult topics from peers.

    Technology Integration Form – Collaboration


    GENERAL INFORMATION
    Selected Technology/Resource Name: Age/Grade Technology/Resource Type:
    Popplet Level: Application Software
    K-12 (all), Device Website
    higher ed
    Source: (Web address, company name, etc.)
    http://www.popplet.com
    Associated Learning Standard(s): The resource may be generally applicable, if so, simply state that. List
    any ISTE-S standards that seem to naturally align with the selected resource.
    I believe that this tool is fairly widely useful in the classroom and can be applied to basically any
    content area and standard. I think it would be most useful in an English classroom when students
    are mapping stories or in connecting unrelated ideas in other content areas. Below are the
    applicable ISTE standards for students:
    1. Creative Communicator: Students communicate clearly and express themselves
    creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital
    media appropriate to their goals.
    a. Students choose the appropriate platforms and tools for meeting the desired
    objectives of their creation or communication.
    b. Students communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using
    a variety of digital objects such as visualizations, models or simulations.
    2. Global Collaborator: Students use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich
    their learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and
    globally.
    a. Students use collaborative technologies to work with others, including peers,
    experts or community members, to examine issues and problems from multiple
    viewpoints.
    b. Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and
    responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal.
    Resource Description
    Give a brief description of the technology/resource.
    Popplet gives students and teachers a way to electronically create mind maps. It’s fairly easy to
    use and allows students to collaborate on their maps. To create a map, students simply log into
    the website and click create map. From there, they double-click anywhere on their screen to add
    a central “popple.” You can then extend the map in any of the four directions (and later move
    new popples around the screen to be in any direction). Each popple can be embedded with
    content from Facebook, Amazon, Flikr, Youtube, or anything directly uploaded from the user’s
    computer.

    Integration/Implementation Idea - Screencasting


    How might you use this resource to promote student learning? Describe who will be doing the
    screencasting – you or your students, and what purpose it will serve.
    I think this tool could be extremely useful in creating an overarching mind map throughout a
    given semester. I had a class a couple of semesters ago that required that we kept an updated
    mind map of each of the topics that we discussed in class, which really helped me connect the
    content in ways that I don’t know that I would have otherwise. For a similar assignment, I would
    have students create a Popplet account and work in groups to create weekly mind maps of what
    we were studying in class. Each week, I would have either a student or a group of students
    synthesize what we’d done that week and add it to a class Popplet. That way, by the end of the
    year, students would have a completed mind map of everything we’d studied. They could later
    reference it if they needed to, since Popplets are always stored under the same link.

    Value-Added Explanation
     Given the information above, how would the technology integration you described,
    using the selected resource? (On the “Value-Added Rating Scale” above)
     Explain your rating based on the indicators on the rubric.
    I would give my proposed integration idea a 2 or 3. I think depending on the content area and
    how much it is used in the classroom, having a mind map of topics covered created by students
    both for use in class and once the class is over could be really impactful and helpful to students. I
    think that assigning particular weeks to individual or small groups of students makes it a little
    easier on everyone and helps students who maybe don’t understand a certain topic get a new
    explanation of it. I don’t know that the lessons throughout the year would be impossible or even
    incredibly difficult without this tool, but I do think that it could transform the course and help
    students get a wider understanding of the math they’re learning.
