Images along with live oral or recorded audio can make material more memorable. thackerg https://padlet.com/thackerg/42xy6tj8dy2h/wish/237744940 Students can use presentation tools to "show what they know." Presentation tools can help students organize information in a coherent way.  Collaboration with peers is easy to accomplish. The presentation can be for different audiences - the teacher only, small groups, and for the entire class. Conceivably, their work could be shared around the world!]]> 2018-03-04 00:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/thackerg/42xy6tj8dy2h/wish/237744940 Prezi thackerg https://padlet.com/thackerg/42xy6tj8dy2h/wish/237745104 I downloaded and played around with Prezi.

It is a powerful, visual way to present information in an easy to navigate way. thackerg https://padlet.com/thackerg/42xy6tj8dy2h/wish/237746794 Teachers can give assignments, homework, content, and more through community tools.
Students can collaborate, in real time or asynchronously, on projects, presentations, papers, and more. Today's students are used to real-time communication, and community tools play into this already-used mode of communication.]]> 2018-03-04 01:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/thackerg/42xy6tj8dy2h/wish/237746794 Padlet thackerg https://padlet.com/thackerg/42xy6tj8dy2h/wish/237747012 I chose to  investigate Padlet as an example of a community tool.  Here is are some thoughts about this community tool.
