Popplet - a tool with possibilities

I came across with Popplet some time ago but I haven't explored it for a while. There are several possibilities for this mind mapping tool and yesterday I tested it with a group of mine.
This group  of mine is learning about past modals and I this is what I did with popplet:
- I created some "cards" on popplet;
- Selected the presentation mode;
- Presentation on intecative board;
- Asked students to react to each situation using: must/may/might/can't/should have (past deduction)

My popplet


My impressions:
1- Students participated well;
2- Students asked more time on the cards;
3- Students managed to use the structure;
4- Students also mentioned real examples that had happened to them.

Mobile Phones

Last week I asked my students from Kids course to bring their mobile phones so that they could ask each other their own phone numbers. The activity was really nice because they were really engaged in it. They practiced numbers, the questions: "What`s your name/surname?  and What`t your phone number?".

Week 4- Speaking tools (Blabblerize)

It`s my first attempt with Blabblerize.com 
 What I liked most:

  1. It is funny;
  2. Students might not feel embarrassed, as it is a talking picture.

Week 4 - Speaking tools (Intervue)

Intervue.me is great speaking tool.

Considerations:

  1. It can be used with any level;
  2. It is friendly-user;
  3. You can create several questions;
  4. Creating the questionnaire is simple.

Week 4 - Speaking tools

Recordr.tv is a great tool, at first students might get embarrassed but when they see they can record as many time as they need, they like it.
Considerations:

  1. Students can answer questions;
  2. Students can describe friends and places;
  3. Students can talk about preferences;
  4. Students can talk about themselves;
  5. Teachers can send any message to any group.
