Padlet is a digital tool used as a "virtual sticky-note board".This digital notice board is able to feature images, links, videos, and documents, all displayed on a "wall" that can be made public or private. It is easily accessible because it is all in one place, and there are multiple ways that it can be organized and designed.

Students will have the ability to post sticky notes, comment on notes, and "like" them. This is a great tool for student interaction and creativity; as it is not your typical discussion wall.

This current presentation was created on Padlet, and it is a more creative way of displaying information to students.

Parlay is a discussion platform that allows students to interact with each other both virtually and in person. There are two main types of Parlay discussions: The Online RoundTable and the Live RoundTable.

Online RoundTable:
-Written discussion
-Students can anonymously share their ideas and comment on each others
-Collects class wide data for you about student responses and engagement

Live RoundTable:
-Verbal discussion
-Students tap in when they have something to say
Video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfo1zZ1VTwg

This is an excellent tool to keep the conversation going. Students have four options when they decide they want to "tap in" and share out loud as part of the discussion. They can choose from: New Idea, Build on, Challenge, and Question. This motivates students to listen and understand what the person before them said so that they can reply properly.
