How it opens
Bubbl.us
Features offered
Bubbl.us is an effective brainstorming and mind mapping tool. Users of the application can quickly develop concept maps with the least tools (Bubbl.us, 2017). Moreover, they can create projects and invite others to assist in editing the content, which when completed, can be shared via a generated link.
Technology Specifics
The application is implemented using Ajax and Flash technology.
User Functionality
In general, the application is very responsive, the pages load fast, and every action conducted in the editor is instant. The site also has a spontaneous navigation, and there are no bugs in the creation or editing of mind maps. The site was also wise to exclude ads.
Trial Experience
The trial for Bubbl.us is hassle free as it does not involve requests for email or the need for a registration process. Once you click on “Start Brainstorming,” you are quickly taken to a new mind map that is awaiting editing. The only restriction in the trial is that you cannot save your mind map after editing.
Popplet
Features offered
Popplet is free, easy-to-use –cooperatively web-based brainstorming tools that enable its users to arrange their thoughts graphically. The key feature is the popples which are boxes that are comprised of drawings, text, videos, and images. These popples can be linked to create associations between ideas and things (Popplet, 2013). Popplet enables a relational and collaborative means of conveying information.

Using an example well
Read it for how the paper is built, not for wording to reuse: how the introduction frames the question, how each paragraph moves from a claim to evidence, and how sources are cited in APA 6. Submitting any part of it as your own work would be plagiarism, and it is written for a different brief than yours.
