What's great is on Padlet is I could create one for a "ask a question, answer a question" Activity! ]]> 2019-01-21 11:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322650845 Exit Ticket Padlet vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322650955 Let my students answer some important exit ticket questions like “what did you learn today?”, “What didn’t you understand?” or “What questions do you still have?”.]]> 2019-01-21 11:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322650955 Notetaking vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322650999
While listening to the teacher, students can work together and add notes to a Padlet wall to create a wall with resources they can use later on.

Who has traveled the farthest from here? Etc. The class has to answer these questions in the padlet. However they do it, it will be some kind of class person-to-person collaboration. ]]> 2019-01-21 11:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651262 Gather teacher feedback vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651358 Once in a while, I ask my students for feedback. Create a Padlet wall just for that and make sure to let students comment anonymoulsy. This way they will be more honest.]]> 2019-01-21 11:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651358 Icebreaker: 2 truths and 1 lie vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651430 Let my students post a selfie and add 2 truths and 1 lie about themselves. It’s up to the other students to find out which one is a lie. You’ll be surprised by how well students can lie!]]> 2019-01-21 11:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651430 Give a compliment vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651523 Add all the headshots of my students on the Padlet board or let them add a picture. Then, everyone has to write at least one compliment as a comment beneath everbody’s picture.]]> 2019-01-21 11:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651523 Analyze a quote vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651581
I start the lesson with a quote that concerns the lesson topic. Then I let students brainstorm on what the quote is about and if it has a hidden meaning or not.

Students will start digging really deep looking for hidden meanings, even if there are none. 

]]> 2019-01-21 11:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651581 Brainstorming on a topic, statement, project or idea vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651656
This lesson idea is probably the most popular among teachers. That’s why I’ve put it first on this list.

Give a statement students have to discuss or a project about which students have to brainstorm. Share the board and let students share their ideas and comments. This way, every student can see what the others think. one can discuss a few of the given answers with the whole class.

What prior knowledge do my students have about that particular topic and what don’t they know? Students just post their knowledge on Padlet, so I can see how to build my lesson.]]> 2019-01-21 11:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651754 Classroom communication vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651789 Similar to the Google Classroom stream. I can do the same with Padlet. Use the Padlet stream layout and communicate assignments and important lesson material to my students by adding posts to the communication stream.

]]> 2019-01-21 11:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651789 “Thinking” maps vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651817 Use a Padlet wall for students to create various thinking maps or mind maps. I can upload a custom background to help them with the layout and they can start adding Post-it notes to a flow map, tree map, or even a circle map format.]]> 2019-01-21 11:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651817 Book discussions / Topic discussion vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651848 When the complete class has to read the same book, it’s fun to create a discussion about the characters, things people do in the book, hidden meanings, plot twists, etc. I can even let them invent a sequel to the book.]]> 2019-01-21 11:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651848 Tops and tips vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651873
Use Padlet for peer assessment. Let students add two ‘tops’ and one ‘tip’ on the Padlet wall of their fellow student who just finished her/his presentation.

Tops are things the student did well and a tip could be something the student should improve the next time.

Gather all the articles and games on a Padlet board, and when it’s finished, share the link with their parents or the complete school.]]> 2019-01-21 11:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322651934 Online student portfolio vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322652016
Use Padlet as a student portfolio tool. Create boards for every student and let them post assignments, articles and projects on it. As a teacher, I can comment on each one and give meaningful feedback.

Whenever a student finds something helpful for her/his portfolio, s/he just has to save it on her/his portfolio Padlet board. No more editing and printing articles.

]]> 2019-01-21 11:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322652016 Gather student work vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322652036
Use Padlet to gather student work, all in one place. Don’t use it for ordinary homework, because all the other students can see what the others have done. Use it for articles and research on a topic.

When I let my students do some research on, for example, ‘real-life application of quadratic functions’, I have all the articles and research on the same place. Other students can take a look at the research of someone else as well.

]]> 2019-01-21 11:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322652036 Live question bank vivienkenmogne https://padlet.com/vivienkenmogne/3rinezjvrbyt/wish/322652062
Let the students ask questions during the lesson. It’s very handy when students don’t understand something or need a better explanation. Stop the lesson 10 minutes early and go over the questions.

This way students who are afraid to ask questions can still ask their questions anonymously. It gives a voice to every student in the room, even to the shy ones.
