  • Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Popplet could be used for every point in Bloom's Taxonomy depending on how it was utilized:  students could view a Popplet created by an instructor or a fellow student to use to "remember" content, while student-created Popplets give students the experience of showing and growing their "understanding" of a concept.  The act of "creating" a Popplet exhibits the highest level skill, also allowing  a student to "evaluate" and "analyze" content and concepts, while "applying" lessons and skills they were previously taught.  
  • Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): A teacher-created or peer-created graphical organizer in Popplet could be experienced at the point of "exhibits" or "demonstrations" on the Cone.  If students are building their own Popplets as graphical organizers and adding additional content and sub-concepts to them, they may experience "dramatic participation" and "contrived experiences" and even potentiallly "direct, purposeful experiences."
  • Integration of tool for teaching and learning:
  • Popplet is great for creating graphical organizers of all kinds.  It is easy to use (easier than Gliffy), making it accessible to anyone without much digital creation experience.  Students and teachers may create concept maps, flow charts, or brainstorm ideas. You may link not just graphical elements and text together, but also include weblinks, images, and YouTube videos within a Popplet. Teachers could share templates of various forms of graphical organizers to have students add content or inspire them to adapt into an organizer that better fits their needs. This flexible tool may be collaborated on by a group or a whole class, or shared by individuals with teachers or peer reviewers for grading or comments.

  Gliffy https://www.gliffy.com/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Gliffy could run the gamut of Bloom's Taxonomy depending on how it was utilized:  students could be given a completed organizer to help them "remember" content that was already presented in a different manner, they could "create" their own organizer and use it to "evaluate" a concept, "analyze" the elements of a concept by comparing and contrasting them, "apply" skills in doing the above activities, and show that they "understand" the concepts address by working out their own way of organizing items.  Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Students could experience a prepared graphical organizer at the point of "exhibits" or "demonstrations," but in having students build their own graphical organizers there is potential for "dramatic participation" and "contrived experiences" along with "dire...

  Flip (formerly Flipgrid) https://info.flip.com/ Type of Learning (Bloom's Taxonomy): Could work with any level of the taxonomy, depending on what they student is asked to record in their video:  could be anything from recounting what they remember about a topic, to demonstrating their understanding in a presentation, to applying content and demonstrating that in a video, analyzing  situation in a video, evaluating a situation, or even creating a video to demonstrate their understanding of a topic/concept. Type of Learning Experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Seems to fit somewhere in the middle of the Cone (Exhibits, Field Trips, Demonstrations) if students are watching the work of other students showing their work or watching the instructor demonstrate actions or visit places.  But, can involve the student who is recording a video in options further down the Cone (Dramatic Participation, Contrived Experiences, Direct Purposeful Experiences) if student is asked ...

  Lucidchart https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): "Create, Evaluate, Analyze, Apply" (depending on task assigned to the student) Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): "Demonstrations" through "Direct, Purposeful experiences" (depending on task assigned) Integration of Tool for Teaching and Learning: Lucidchart has many uses.  It is a tool for creating online diagrams, and has a large library of symbols and templates to help with this.  It can also be used as a mind mapping tool for brainstorming, or to create Venn diagrams, flowcharts, and timelines.  Instructors may use it to visually depict class content in terms of processes or relationships among elements and concepts and share them with students either inside of Lucidchart or embedded in other documents and tools (Google Docs, for example).  If kept inside Lucidchart, an online diagram can be contributed to by an entire class or a group of students....
