This afternoon at the Texas Library Association's annual conference I gave a short presentation about backchannels and informal assessment. Some of you may have seen the Padlet wall that I posted here for a few hours as a part of that presentation. During the presentation I mentioned three ways to use Padlet in schools. Those ways are described below.

Using Padlet as a KWL chart:
Padlet can be used to create a KWL chart that students can contribute to anonymously (or not anonymously if you want them to sign-in). Create a wall, make it public, and ask students to share what they know and what they want to know about a topic. If you allow anonymous posting you might get contributions from shy students who might not otherwise speak-up in class. Of course, if you allow anonymous commenting you should have a conversation with your students about what an appropriate comment looks like. (You could also turn on moderation and approve all notes before they appear). Padlet works well when projected on an interactive whiteboard.

Using Padlet for group research:
A couple of years ago I showed my special education students a short (18 minutes) video about cultural changes that took place in the US during the 1920's. After the video we discussed what they saw. Then I had students search online for other examples of cultural change in the 1920's. When they found examples they put them onto a Wallwisher wall that I projected onto a wall in my classroom. The wall started with just text being added to the wall and quickly progressed to YouTube videos being added to the wall. Once every student had added a video to the wall we stopped, watched the videos, and discussed them.

Using Padlet as a showcase of your students' work:
If your students are creating digital portfolios, creating slideshows, or producing videos you could use Padlet to display all of your students' best work on one page. Create the wall, call it something like "my best work this year," and have your students post links to their works.

Posters can effectively convey information to a large group of people, but an attractive poster can also add a little pizzazz to your school presentation. A well-organized poster aids the flow of your presentation by reminding you of key project points. Posters also reflect your interest in a topic and give you an opportunity to display your creative knack.

Step 1

Add color to the background of the poster board by attaching various sizes of bright construction paper to the poster's base with some craft glue. You could also use gift wrap, comics, old photographs or a map for this.

Step 2

Use stencils to make uniform letters. Uniform letters on a poster make the project stand out. Stencils also make it much easier to make straight lines and centered letters.

Step 3

Choose marker colors that complement each other. Using just a few colors that complement each other results in a more streamlined and focused poster. Use either contrasting colors, such as teal and orange, or use colors in the same family, such as light blue and dark blue. Colors can express different emotions or ideas - for example, red represents excitement and blue represents calm.

Step 4

Add a border with streamers or satin ribbon. Cut pieces of streamer, ribbon or lace that match the height and width measurements of the poster board. Attach these using small dots of craft glue at each corner.

Step 5

Add glitter, sequins and stickers to the poster for extra appeal. Outline letters or make borders around pictures with glitter glue. Draw clean, straight lines with the glitter glue. Stickers and sequins can also be used to decorate poster corners or around letters and visuals.
