Since I am a Read 180/System 44 teacher, my 4th/5th grade students already use these software programs daily for 30 minutes to improve their reading skills. Since I only have 90 minutes a day with them, I really don't use many other digital tools other than Google Slides for final projects. As a part of my action research, I am teaching my students about Growth Mindset using the Brainiology curriculum. As a culminating project for this unit, students are creating mind maps to show what they have learned. I stumbled upon Popplet when I searched my digital toolbox for "mind mapping". It is available as an app, but I have only begun to use it on the desktops because we don't have as many ipads available. I haven't had extensive use with this yet "in the trenches", but this is what I have found so far.

Popplet looks interesting. I'd love to look into it further.

Dana HandI teach Read 180 at Northwood Elementary School and I am passionate about reading (obviously!) In my "free time" I love hanging out with my 2 teenagers and taking our two dogs for long walks. Archives
