Popplet is free (for up to five full-featured popplets per account) and does not currently offer education accounts or teacher consoles. Students DO each need their own email address. Depending on how old your students are, you may want to set up a number of popplets within your own account and invite the groups you want to work together on "your" popplet. Although I have not used it with younger students, I have found that grade 7 students and above seem to have no problem organizing themselves using this application. For groups that need more supervision, I ask them to invite me to their popplet.
Although all students need to be registered on popplet so they can collaborate on the group popplet, only one popplet per group is required for the website.
To sign up (as a teacher or student):
