Types of Rocks Mind Map

I created a mind map within Popplet about the different type of rocks: Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic. This was my second time using Popplet and I have really enjoyed using this tool. It is a quick and easy way to create an interesting presentation that students will enjoy. My favorite thing about Popplet is that you can use it to create a presentation for any subject you are teaching. Popplet is a very interactive tool and allows students to feel as if they are a part of the presentation. When presenting a mind map to your class, you can pull it up on a smart board and give your students the opportunity to move around the mind map and experience it themselves. 

By using Popplet, I found that it is an easy tool to use and you can get the hang of it quickly. Within my own future classroom, I will use the Popplet mind map tool to present material to my students and allow them the opportunity to get involved in the presentation. I will also be able to teach my own students how to use the mind map tool in Popplet and give my students the choice to create a Popplet for a project. For example, if my class is learning about the four seasons, I can assign my students to each create their own mind map explaining the four seasons.
