Popplet lite
Popplet lite is a mind-mapping tool that allows users to add pictures, draw, color code and connect text boxes. Popplet lite is a terrific resource to use for students who have difficulties taking notes and will help in organizing their thoughts and ideas. I would recommend the use of Popplet lite to all my students to break down learning barriers during studying and review periods.
