RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
The technology allows students to create graphic organizers, timelines, and other visual organizers. This tool allows students to
express their thoughts in a visual manner through the use of images, videos, drawings, and text.

INTEGRATION IDEA - COLLABORATION

How might you integrate this resource in a lesson plan to promote collaboration among students in your classroom, or among
students and others outside of the classroom?
I would use Popplet as a beginning assignment to prepare for the main assignment. An example of how I would integrate Popplet
is by placing students into groups of four. Their main assignment would be to construct a skit in Spanish that focuses on the unit
of clothing. Students will use Popplet to organize their skit by first brainstorming and then placing their ideas in a timeline form. I
expect each student to contribute to the visual organizers, as each student must perform their role in the skit.

 VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
I rate Popplet as a three because without this tool collarboration would be less effiecnt. The tool motivates students to work
together and to visualize the thoughts of peers in real time. Also, several standards are fulfilled by the use of the tool.
