Description
Popplet is a “platform for your ideas”; from a blank sheet we can add Popplets to organize the information added. Each Popplet is an idea, concept, image, etc.
Popplet is a cloud application that allows you to graphically structure and organize your ideas. With Popplet you have the possibility of creating mental, conceptual maps, planks, murals, galleries, etc. Individually or collaborating with other people. A Popplet is a great board to hang, organize and relate your ideas.
One of Popplet’s biggest advantages is its simplicity and the intuitiveness of its interface.
How to do it (step by step)
Step 2
Like most cloud applications, Popplet requires registration prior to use
Popplet has recognized compatibility problems with Internet Explorer.
Step 3
On the desk you can see a large work area and another, located on the right, where you can see different examples. The first time you access Popplet, a large blue box appears indicating what you must do to create a new Popplet project.
Step 4
In the upper right area of the desktop you will see a set of buttons that offer, on the one hand, access to different links (fuchsia color) and on the other hand to specific work options of our Popplet user (white color).
Step 5
Once registered you have permission to create up to 5 different Popplets.
By clicking on the button “make new Popplet” you can start working. The first step forces you to assign a name to the new document and a background color.
