Webbing/ Mind Mapping

Wow! I didn't know all these websites and apps for web making even existed! It is amazing how far technology has come. These three websites(Spiceynodes, Popplet and Wisemapping) can be very helpful for students.  Of all three Popplet was the easiest to use and it would be the one I recommend to my students.  I also think it was the one that let me create a more fun and pretty map.  Popplet was very easy to type in text and link ideas to the key topics.  Changing the color of the text and text box was very  user-friendly.  Spiceynodes' free webs were a bit too simple. I wanted to add another bubble to my web and I just couldn't figure out how.  The one I thought to be most complicated to work with was Wisemapping.  It took me a while to figure out how to add text, change the color of text, and delete or add a text box.
