Evolution Megalab asks volunteers to survey banded snail populations in Europe to help map climate change effects. Did you know that thanks to a common little snail you can find in your garden, in the park or under a hedge, you can see evolution in your own back yard? Evolution is a very slow process. Life on Earth started about three-and-a-half billion years ago! It's the tiny changes accumulating over a long, long time that got us here. And you can see some of those tiny steps by joining the Evolution MegaLab. It may look like banded snails are dressed-to-kill, but really they are dressed not to be killed. Banded snails are a favorite food of the song thrush, and their various shell colors and patterns camouflage them against different backgrounds. But, in some places there are fewer thrushes than there used to be. Help us find out * Have shell colors and bands changed where there are fewer thrushes? Shell color also affects how sensitive a snail is to temperature. * Have shell colors changed with our warming climate?

Classroom unfortunately has not been easy to use at all for our house recently.

The links failed to open correctly and the feel was bulky and not streamlined for use.

We have multiple kids, different ages in different classes and it failed to easily separate them.

We ended up having to have them use different devices because it was hard to get both of them to have clean logins (keep in mind they don't have parental rights on the system).

I wish Classroom was easier for those running school at home to use.

Silver Spring, Md. (Tuesday, July 21, 2020) Discovery Education -the global leader in standards-aligned digital curriculum resources, engaging content, and professional learning for K-12 classrooms-today announced the acquisition of Spiral. Based in the United Kingdom, Spiral provides educators a multiuse platform that supports collaborative learning and formative assessment both in the classroom and the remote environment. Terms were not disclosed.

Discovery Education's acquisition of Spiral supports the company's efforts to keep students connected to learning wherever it is taking place. Spiral's product features compliment Discovery Education Experience's curated high-quality content and existing assessment and student collaboration tools. The addition of Spiral's features to the company's flexible K-12 learning platform will give educators even more ways to facilitate instruction, deepen student engagement, and create high-impact student learning experiences.

"Discovery Education is focused on providing school systems outstanding digital services that connect students to learning in and out of the classroom," said Discovery Education Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategy Philip Nanney. "The acquisition of Spiral aligns with our strategy of adding features to our digital services that save educators time and increase student engagement. We look forward to welcoming Spiral to the Discovery Education team."

Spiral is a past winner of the prestigious Common Sense Education Best EdTech Award. Recognized for empowering teachers to create interactive learning experiences either in advance or on the fly, Spiral also enables teachers to probe class understanding in real time through digital multimedia content.

Spiral is the latest acquisition by Discovery Education. In August of 2019, Discovery Education announced the purchase of Inspyro, a provider of leading virtual reality and augmented reality content also based in the United Kingdom.

"Spiral's team is incredibly excited to join Discovery Education," said Hamish Kennedy, Spiral's Founder and CEO. "Discovery Education shares our commitment to connecting students to learning no matter where they are, and we look forward to working closely on that mission with our new colleagues."

# data[].attributes.body
Padlet is an online noticeboard, which means it can be used for making announcements, keeping notes and online brainstorming.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Because it's device-neutral, teachers can easily use Padlet in a 1:1 or virtual classroom. At the start of the year, get to know your students by having them post a selfie or video discussing what makes them unique. In math, use the draw feature to show work: Ask students to solve an equation, and allow kids to comment with the different ways they approached the same problem. For fine arts, create a Padlet and have students post reactions to content they find on a tool like Google Arts and Culture, or have students upload a video of themselves singing or practicing an instrument for music class. Padlet is also great for reflection; ask students to respond to an open-ended question, and encourage then to up-vote, favorite, or respond to their peers' responses. To keep things school-friendly, you might want to turn on content appoval and the profanity censor in the settings menu.

As a tool for group projects, Padlet really shines. Divide the class into small groups, and have students work together at home to research a particular subject -- for example, key leaders in the civil rights movement. Each student could devote research to a type of supported media (video, audio, photo, or text), add it to the group's shared wall, and then present the findings in class. Alternatively, let students pool notes together in class for a virtual group study session. Looking for more inspiration? The site's blog and social media pages showcase many examples of how teachers are using Padlet to enhance learning.

Padlet is a website and app that allows students to curate information onto virtual boards called Padlets. The free version only allows for three Padlets, but upgrading won't break the bank if it's a tool you want to use consistently. Teachers can share boards via links or QR codes, or students can create their own, but either way, blank pages quickly fill up with videos, text, links, documents, GIFs, images -- basically anything -- for other users to see. Kids can add as many notes to a wall as they like, but unless they add their names to each one, teachers won't know who's posting what. Teachers can add moderators and turn on comments and voting features for more collaboration. As added checks against inappropriate content, moderators can turn on profanity filters, screen all posts before making them visible, or require that students display their names on the board.

Students can also upload documents they've created, such as class notes or completed assignments. More than one person can contribute to a Padlet wall, opening the door to teamwork and group projects. Once kids create a wall, there are tons of ways to share it: socially, via Google Classroom, by exporting it to a file, embedding it in a blog or website, or turning it into a QR code. There's also the option to keep walls private, of course. Padlet offers lots of places to get support, including social media pages, an entertaining blog, a FAQ section, and plenty of use cases. A paid upgrade offers features specific to educators' needs, including unlimited Padlets, more upload space, folders, and priority support.

There are plenty of online collaboration sites out there, but Padlet is one of the more intuitive options that allows for tons of media types. Customization options let kids express themselves and really take ownership of their projects. It's an excellent tool for reflection, too. Kids can share written responses, recordings, images, and more, offering easy opportunities to respond in a way that matches their comfort level. The depth of interactions depends on how you set up the walls, but the developer's website and social media pages share lots of helpful examples.

Teachers can choose how they set up their Padlet walls with respect to privacy so that they can catch inappropriate or error-riddled posts and edit them before sharing with the class. This takes a bit of extra time, but it's time well-spent to encourage continued student participation. The walls provide the chance to see student learning at a glance and offer opportunities to solicit appropriate feedback from peers. On the flip side, students who create and share walls will be able to go into more depth, perhaps writing longer pieces, showing connections between concepts, or even creating multimedia presentations that combine videos, images, drawings, and text. A few more accessibility features would allow for more kids to use it easily. And older kids and teens might want even more flexibility around their Padlet's appearance. But, overall, it's a tool that gives students -- and teachers -- tons to work with.
