Using ‘Popplet’ Application To Encourage The Use Of Multiple Modes Of Representations In Learning Transition Metals

This study introduced writing-to-learn (WTL) activities integrated with graphic organizers using the “Popplet” application to encourage the embedding and translating Multiple Modes of Representations (MMR). Simultaneously, this study measured the effectiveness of the embedding and translating MMR on...
