1. Become familiar with a variety of ways to use Padlet for online discussions.
2. Understand how Padlet enables students with a variety of learning styles to participate in online discussions.
3. Create your own Padlet discussion boards with a free account at www.padlet.com.]]> 2017-02-23 21:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_sacciokent/36kujv0s3im/wish/155904817 kim_sacciokent https://padlet.com/kim_sacciokent/36kujv0s3im/wish/155909540

1. I provided instructions for an in-class assignment at the top and linked online resources directly below it. (Note to self: show original Padlet in Backpack to demonstrate video.)
2. Student groups viewed the resources and contributed their tip suggestions.
3. We discussed the suggestions as a class and groups listed their final tips on the right. Students could participate by speaking up in class and by typing directly in the Padlet.

Student teams created group Padlets to answer a research question on friendship.

Teams chose tasks selected from a menu including uploading video and audio, posting images, and of course writing. 

I set the program to record user names on posts to track participation.

Students enjoyed designing their Padlets and found it easy to work together in this medium.

As a "Do Now," every day students respond to a quote from me or from one of their peers. 

Several of my students (including four in this group) almost never participate in class because they aren't confident with their spoken English, they have anxiety issues, or they're just shy.

The average participation rate for this activity is 75%.

Padlet can be used to create individual websites--as I did with this presentation--but I think it really shines for group and whole-class activities. NOTE: Students can access Padlets from within the Canvas LMS, with no need to create separate accounts. ]]> 2017-02-23 22:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_sacciokent/36kujv0s3im/wish/155921564 kim_sacciokent https://padlet.com/kim_sacciokent/36kujv0s3im/wish/155923620 Now I'll walk you through creating and customizing a Padlet using the free version of the software.
