Popplet
This
little gem is going to be my introduction to online collaboration/communication
tools in my classroom in September. I explored Popplet and immediately
saw this is a great opportunity for my students to organize their writing
pieces. It's free but they also offer a great school discount for
students to have unlimited paddlets. I love the color coding option and
how easy it is for children in grades K and up.
