- Imagine getting feedback from all students instead of just the one or two you have time to call on.
- Imagine that feedback being visible to the whole class, even in multiple sections of your course.
- Imagine the opportunity for anonymous participation to increase student involvement.
- Imagine interacting with other teachers in your department/building without leaving your classroom.
- Imagine real-time viewing and 24/7 availability.
Padlet is your answer.
Padlet is a bulletin board of sticky notes that can be accessed by anyone who has the link or webaddress.
After going to www.padlet.com it takes just ONE CLICK to start a board.
Then just ONE DOUBLE CLICK to add a note to the board.
No prep work necessary!
How could you use this in your classroom?
- Exit Ticket
- Do Now
- Brainstorming Board
- Student Showcase Board
- Class Word Wall
- Question Wall
- Presentation Review
- Helpful Links Wall
- Book Review Wall
- Thank You Note Wall
- Get to Know You Wall
- Class/Group Competitions (each have their own wall)
What is my favorite use?
QUESTION WALL
1. Open a board.
2. Post the address for the students at the beginning of class.
(note if you want the posts to include their name or be anonymous)
3. As class goes on -or even as a chapter/unit/theme continues students can add questions to the board.
4. Check the board periodically to see if there are questions during and/or after class.
5. Allow time for students to answer each other's quesitons.
In my discipline this works well with vocabulary. In advanced levels students can even answer with a picture, link or a video to express the meaning without using English.
Some cool options:
* Create your own webaddress for the board that is easy to remember
* Change the background image to a map or a diagram
* Change the setting so that each post has to be approved by the teacher
* Make it password protected
* Get email notifications when someone posts
*Pre-made QR code to post for your students
*Have the posts in a nice layout - or scattered in a freeform
