padlet
To quote the website, “We give you a blank wall. You put anything you want on it, anywhere. Simple, yet powerful.” Padlet is similar to an interactive corkboard; students can post anything from words to web-links and everything in-between. This tool can be leveraged to allow students to collaborate on multiple topics at once, to submit projects in a way all of their classmates can see, and also allows you to have an entire class located in one place.
Students can be assigned “mini-research” projects where they post their findings for others to explore. Padlet can also be used in conjunction with other apps such as PicCollage to help share student work with you and the rest of the class! |
