I experimented with popplet. The technology was user-friendly and very engaging. The oversized font and graphics puts emphasis on a short specific textual notes and more emphasis on uploaded images and videos. I did become a little confused when the tutorials for the various tools were offered. I thought it was my opportunity to start exploring and I was still viewing the tutorials. I have never used it before, but after engaging the tutorials I noticed this tool was used on the homepage of this course. This tool precludes anyone from taking detailed notes. I would use this tool for my students to develop a visual argument to support a persuasive or argumentative essay. I like this tool and I will use it in the future to accompany a written piece.

I really like your point about it doesn't allow "detailed" notes...at least in an individual node! Could someone take detailed notes by having lots of nodes/boxes?
