30+ creative ways to use Padlet for teachers and students

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
I’m always excited when I’m using Padlet. Is it the interface, the way everything is designed, its purpose or the fact that I’m organizing things smoothly? I don’t know. It just makes me happy.

How to Promote Student Collaboration with Padlet

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Padlet is a virtual wall, it works like an online sheet of paper where students and teachers can put any content (e.g. images, videos, documents, text) anywhere on the page and from any device. Key features include customizing the wall and the background; choosing how the posts appear on the wall; setting up privacy settings

At the MS teachers use Padlet in Advisory as a way of getting feedback about various units. For example, here is the teacher feedback on 7th Grade Orientation 2016-2017

More Ideas for using Padlet in the Classroom:

Use it as a portfolio to share with parents. Snap pictures of student work and share them.

Have students sort pictures on Padlet to classify them

Use it as a class back channel and have discussions on it.

Have students work a problem, and snap a picture of how they worked it.

How to log in to Google Chromebooks with Clever Badges

This article covers the following:

What are Clever Badges?

Clever's Instant Login allows students and teachers to safely access education apps with a single username and password. With Clever Badges, students can simply hold up a physical Badge to the computer's webcam instead of typing in credentials!

How does Instant Login with Clever Badges work?

Instant Login with Clever Badges allows students to use a physical badge in lieu of typing in passwords to authenticate users for learning applications.

Here's how the login flow works:

Students navigate to clever.com/badges and click "Allow" in the browser prompt to give Clever access to their camera.

For ease of use, we recommend setting clever.com/badges as the homepage for your students

The webcam will activate and students should hold up their Badge to the camera. Once the sensors recognize the code, the screen border will flash green.

Students will then be redirected to their Clever Portal.

Using that protocol, we allow students to access their Clever applications without needing to type in usernames and passwords. Because the QR codes are not stored, Clever will never have access to the usernames and passwords used for logins.

What's required for setup?

You will need to following items for implementation and use of Badges:

Clever account with Secure Sync (Click here to register for an account)

Supported web browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari)

Computers/devices with webcams

Printing Badges for the first time

To begin using Badges, navigate to the Badge Settings page of the Clever Dashboard and select "Begin Setup".

On the Configuration page you can begin by selecting which grade levels you would like to enable for Clever Badges. If you prefer to print badges on a per student basis, select "Distribute badges to students individually."

Next select which schools you would like to enable badges for and press, "Save Selection"

On the distribution tab you can choose to download badges for individual schools, multiple schools, or all enabled schools. Additionally, district admins can choose to download all active badges or just badges that are new. This feature is great for students who join the classroom midyear!

Depending on the size of the download, the badges will either download to your computer immediately, or Clever will email you a link to a zip file, which will have the following format:

Clever Badges

A list of folders with the names of each school

A subfolder containing badges by grade level containing the QR code and name of each student.

A PDF of the grade level's badges

A grade level folder of PNG images of each student's badge. Badges are identified using "LastName-SIS_ID"

A subfolder containing badges, sorted by section containing the QR code and name of each student.

A PDF of the section's badges

A section folder of PNG images of each student's badge. Badges are identified using "LastName-SIS_ID"

The PDFs match the Avery label template for 2" square Avery labels . Print out Badges and distribute them to your students!

Printing Badges for new students

After you've set up Badges for all students, you can print Badges for new students only by selecting download "New" on the Distribution tab.

If you'd like to create new Badges for all students, click the red "Void all exiting badges" button on the Settings tab. Once voided, you will be able to download new badges in the Distribution area of Badge Settings.

Can Badges be reset?

Yes, Clever Badges can be reset. If a student loses their Badge, they should immediately reach out to either their teacher or district administrator. A new Clever Badge image will be issued, which can then be printed out, and the old Badge will be invalidated.

Can I use Clever Badges with older students?

Yes, students of all ages can use Clever Badges. Badges can be enabled on a per-student basis from the student's Detail View in the Data Browse. Begin by selecting "Create Clever Badge"

Once a badge has been generated, Clever has provided the option to download the badge in both PDF and PNG format.

Can teachers use Clever Badges?

No, Clever Badges only supports students at this time.

Setting teachers up for success

As part of your rollout, we recommend sending teachers our Clever Badges Teacher Guide , which contains login instructions as well as information on how to reprint students' Badges.

Important Note: If you plan/need to log in with OAuth options, you will need to ensure that you are syncing from a browser that has the correct OAuth credentials for the new account and not somebody else's credentials. Failure to do so will result in the connection of the new account to another user's information. As a result, when you try to log in in the future, you will be logged in to another user's account.

Also note that at the end of each school year, it is important that coaches delete the courses from that year so that the integration will work for the following year (having courses or sections with the same name or IDs can prevent the integration from working properly in the future). It is also helpful for teachers to remove students they will no longer be teaching from their rosters to prevent overload or complications with students adding other teachers.

Finally, it is possible to make any changes that you could make with any other Khan Academy account once they have been set up through Clever. If you're having trouble, please begin by contacting Clever's help center here.

Follow these steps in order to successfully integrate your Khan Academy with Clever:

Have your Clever administrator upload student data into Clever at https://schools.clever.com/settings/system/upload. Note that currently Khan Academy does not support administrator accounts, but this data will create or connect to teacher and student accounts.

Based on enrollments.csv, teachers.csv, and students.csv, when you first log into Khan Academy, students' data will automatically be added to your class. If new students are added to your class, your Clever administrator will have to update students.csv before your new student will be able to log in with Clever. Have your teacher use Clever to log into Khan Academy through the Clever portal.

When you log in, you will arrive on your Khan Academy Coach Dashboard where you can see the classes automatically generated from the data inputted in Step 1. Before students log into Khan Academy, all students will be displayed as 'Clever Student'. The displayed 'Clever Student' will change to the user's username once they log in.

Now, have your students log into Khan Academy through the Clever Portal.

If your student is younger than 13 in Clever's system, your student will have to input their parent's email. Make sure they have their parent's correct email entered.

After your students log in and have their Clever account integrate with an existing Khan account, or create a new one, their displayed names will change on the dashboard.

Your students by default will be assigned a user nickname similar to "John508" (student's first name or the first letter of the first name plus random numbers). If your student is younger than 13, their parent will have to create their own parent account to change the student's username by following the link in the received email from Step 5. If the student is older than 13, they can change their username in their settings.

Regardless, teachers can change their students' display names in their roster.

What if I don't see a student in the correct class?

If you do not a see a student in your class after they have signed up for an account, please check your All Students tab for your student and add your student to the correct class from there.

If your student is not listed on your All Students tab, please have them enter your Class Code (see picture above) on the Coaches tab on their profile. This code can also be found on the class page in the top-right corner.

If your student is unable to enter your class code, have the parent create their own account by following the link in the email they received from Step 5. Then the parent should navigate to their children's settings and set "Can add other coaches" to ON then the student will be able to enter your class code. If the parent does not do this, the student will NOT be able to be added to your class.

Additional Notes

Users cannot add an email to a child account (age under 13) created with Clever. The student must log in with Clever to log into Khan Academy. If the student loses access to their Khan Academy or Clever account, their parent can reset their password for them. If they are still having trouble, the parent can file a support ticket here requesting additional assistance.

Teachers - please go to our Khan Academy Help Center to learn how to customize your classes and assign exercises to your students.

If you have questions on how to use the Clever system please write in here. When contacting Khan Academy support, please provide the email, username, or kaid associated with the account(s) in question; we are NOT able to identify accounts using Clever IDs or student or teacher numbers.

If you have any issues, refer to Clever's Help Center for more information. There is no need to create a new Khan Academy account to use with Clever. It can be integrated with pre-existing accounts.

You can find other ways to create student accounts here, and can contact Khan Academy support here.
