Welcome to my Leadership in Professional Learning Padlet. My name is Alicia and I've created this space to explore a few key concepts from our course using the medium of Padlet! Padlet offers a free, cloud-based platform which anyone can create with and access. This is my first time creating and presenting with Padlet which I am very excited about!

Collaboration in educational settings has been shown to "contribute positively to the development of other skills like problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking" (Shurmann et. al 2023). It's important to recognize that collaboration isn't just working in groups with an intention of division of labour for an assignment or assessment. Bedwell et. al (2012) emphasize that "having a shared goal (to solve a problem) is an important characteristic of collaboration and often the reason for working together".

Encouraging play in a post-secondary setting is challenging. It's important to remember that “play is not just physical interaction” not is it "only about playing games”. Rather we can think of play as “engaging in social interactions and interacting with playful thoughts” (Leather et. al 2020)

Loved it! I'm creating my own Padlet as we speak!

I like it, I plan to explore it more in the future 

# data[].attributes.wish_content.attachment_props.poll_choices[].choice_text
Undecided, I need more time to explore and reflect

Hmmmm. I am not certain this is a platform I could include within my professional setting
