Multimodality is the use of multiple different types or 'modes' of literacy/expression. In the classroom, this looks like encouraging and providing students with access to a wide range of resources and a variety of tools to accomplish learning.

Connected learning provides the teacher and students with more meaningful learning experiences in the classroom. It is also great for differentiation and accessibility!

1. Is the Hive a realistic example of something most teachers would be able to implement in their own classroom?

2. Is it harder to assess students when so many different modalities are used?

1. When I was in elementary school, it was in the height of the introduction of personal tech to the classroom. We were given iPads in 1st grade, and then allowed to take them home in 3rd. I saw a lot of familiar things within the readings that I remember my teachers using in my classrooms! I remember doing many comic strips, videos, and making use of just about every app available to me as a student.

2. At my previous institution, I was in a class specifically focused on education technology (the technology available to educators and how to use it in the classroom to meet a variety of needs), this reminded me a lot of that class and the work that we did.

1. It is a bit challenging to me to imagine a classroom that involves so much independent/group work where the students are consistently on task and on target with completing their projects. I can imagine a lot of problems arising with that sort of thing, but it must require a lot of monitoring within the groups, and constant check-ins about progress. I would also imagine that the group of students are very imaginative and self-motivated.

In the process of creating this, I have learned just how cool Padlet is! I have used it as a tool for classes in the past and have never known/noticed just how creative you can be with it! There are so many different ways to customize pretty much every little detail of your grid, and so many visual aids and links you can add in. It is also very easy to learn and navigate!

I am very happy and inspired with this process. In the past, Padlet has been a tool I have overlooked, so I am very glad to have been given this chance to explore it further. It was a bit daunting at the beginning, and it seemed like just another tool I had to navigate, but I am pleasantly surprised.

I could definitely imagine using this tool in my future classroom! I could use it in variety of different ways, to have my students create a board to share their ideas, knowledge, or understanding of a topic (like this one!) Or inviting all of my students, or groups of students to collaborate on a board. I've seen it be used in classrooms as a discussion board that other students can reply to, as well as an exit ticket that each student has to complete.
