Anytime that schools are using SOS and want to collaborate globally- they create a Padlet. When 7th graders in all of my schools were studying Earth Structures, they watched a DE video and then posted 6 word stories and 3 Truths and 1 Lie- Other students from across the country read them, commented, and then answered.

I have created a Padlet for each of my STEM Challenges- schools across the country remake that Padlet and upload their resources- Most of them send me a link.

Each of the schools that I coach has a Padlet created by me. I post resources after each visit and they upload artifacts when I am not there.

I too curate resources for participants after each session. I open it up before the session starts and allow participants to use it for note-taking. I share the URL and keep it running after the event. To date- I have over 50 Padlets that are constantly being used and replenished. I find that participants love having something to walk away with - especially in the event that they forget something. Everything I share during the session- eventually goes up on the Padlet.

For a silly outlet, since it has a picture option and my students have cameras on chrome books I had them post a selfie of what they think the character is feeling in a specific point in the book. My middle school students love seeing them all via DEN Friend, Christine Wallace.

I just used padlet with 3 truths and 1 lie- SOS. I divided students into groups of 8. Each group member received a topic from our science force and motion unit. They had to put their 3 truths and 1 Lie onto the padlet labeled a,b,c,d. After all the information was in. Students then solve all the other post from their group recording the lie and telling how to make it true (did this part on paper). So each student had 7 entries to analyze. It was amazing.

Each PD I present includes a Padlet of topic specific resources:)

I love having a Padlet for each unit, so students have a one-stop-shop for resources!!

Use it to quickly allow students to have a voice, provide a response, or share a thought.

Have students post the word in the title, put their definition in the note and add an image to illustrate their understanding of the word. Then (if you use the comments) another student can add to the definition, add a sentence for contextual understanding, or offer alternate definitions.

Use Padlet to record a six word story.

There's a good chance you've done the "write on a sticky note and put it on the wall" activity - or have seen it happen before.
Padlet lets those sticky notes have images, links and videos AND be available with practically any Internet-ready device.
It used to be blocked by my school's Internet filter. This school year, the powers that be have allowed it through on student devices, opening up lots of possibilities in class!

Padlet is a great place for gathering ideas, sharing them and modifying them later. It's like a living, breathing webpage. Users can add links, YouTube videos, files and images to Padlet notes. They can move and arrange them. A link to a Padlet can be shared and Padlets can be embedded into webpages.

Here are 20 ways to use Padlet in class:

The Math Mission Project held its final classroom visit at F.H. Miller Public School. Visiting teachers had the opportunity to observe and discuss a lesson during Mira Campbell's resource period. The focus of the lesson was on using pictures to communicate in mathematics.

In an earlier lesson, students brainstormed using Padlet on the interactive whiteboard why it is important to use pictures in mathematics.

Students commented that pictures can support the understanding and communication of math.

"Pictures are helpful ..... some people are visual". Chelsea

"Pictures are helpful because it can show how you did your answer instead of writing (show my thinking)". Annabella

"Pictures help me because I can understand the information better and faster". Brian

In addition, students reviewed a variety of infographics to see how pictures were used in different contexts to communicate ideas. They shared their thinking using the annotation tools in Skitch and the insert sound feature in Notebook.

Click on the link below to view a video created by Mira Campbell to highlight the lesson that the visiting teachers observed.

Thank you to Ms. Campbell, Annabella, Brian and Chelsea for sharing with us how they can use pictures to communicate their thinking in math.
