Popplet is an tool for users to capture and organise their ideas on a board. Individual "Popples" can be filled with text, drawings, images, or video and then connected to other, related Popples to create a mind map. The Popplet board can be updated by multiple users in real time, so it's a collaborative tool for planning or discussion. It is easy for teachers to see what individuals have contributed. Finished Popplet boards can be shared. Popplet is also available as an iPad app. The free Lite version of the app lets users create one Popplet.
Free ($7.99 for the app)
