Explore Allan's Padlet system, skim other Padlets in the padlet gallery, and describe why Padlet overall works for Allan.

Reflect on your own tools, commit to just a few (deciding if Padlet is one of them), and describe next steps to make the process your own.

It allows me to stay organized. Links to resources, content I've taught, videos, etc, all stay in the padlet and I can reuse if I need. (I can move the boxes as I wish, replicate them, and even send them to other Padlets.)

I love the comment feature because I can separate prompts and responses, and also allows me to model and share my thinking, give students a space to process and another way to opt in, and facilitates discussion.

There is a gif and picture option that makes the set-up super quick for me. I can also update from my phone with a super simple app.

I don't grade anything on Padlet, so that it feels low-stakes and everyone takes risks and joins in as they wish.

My friend at Panorama featured one of our Padlets at a webinar on belonging and inclusion recently!! I also use Padlets for the PDs I lead on equity work.

I make a new Padlet for each class every 3 weeks or so.

1. MAKE A NEW PADLET. On the dashboard, I go to MAKE A PADLET and I prefer the the GRID OPTION.

2. SHARING SETTINGS. I go to SHARE on the top right, and update PRIVACY.

3. AESTHETICS. I go to the little wheel/screw to MODIFY and literally go through all options.

FOR NEW POSTS:
1. Click on the + Button at the bottom right of the screen.

2. I number the posts, make each row a different color, write what I need to write and always add a visual either through a link, a screenshot of something that relates, a video, or use the GIF option!!

3. THE GIF OPTION: I click on the magnifying glass and search.

4. VERY COOL: Padlet saves your old pics, so I can reuse any screenshots and/or posts.

The kids know to expect a padlet every time they log in. I have 4 Padlets -- History, RZ, Crew, ELA.

Tips to get kids to use it --
1) Have the kids make accounts.
2) Share screen and model.
3) Narrate as posts come in — my phone buzzes each time a post is written.
4) In the moment feedback.
5) Lots of Shouts and Celebrations, SEL Qs, fashion advice, polls, music, and random things sometimes.
6) I got the kids' input on using it as our main tool. They approved. 7) You can present the boxes just like the slides too.
8) I tell the kids the padlet looks boring if they don't add to it.
9) Allow think time for questions I really care about.
10) If no one mics up, I pick a student who wrote something on the Padlet to elaborate on their post.
