Jessica Gillespie-Johnson Technology Proficiency Portfolio by Jessica Johnson https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3 Technology Proficiency Portfolio en-us 2017-11-27 18:47:59 UTC 2023-04-22 09:35:52 UTC hello@padlet.com Task#1: Padlet jgjohnson98 https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210603531 http://bit.ly/JGJTechPP
I enjoy using Padlet in my classroom and with PD. Teachers can use this in a meaningful way by allowing student to share their final thoughts to summarize an activity or lesson. I have used it in the past to allow students to post memes reflecting the lesson. Padlet also allows others to comment on the post.]]> 2017-11-27 19:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210603531 Task#2: Mentimeter jgjohnson98 https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210615063 http://bit.ly/2iaIADR (link to Mentimeter)
http://bit.ly/2Bhu0OY (link to results)

Mentimeter is a great tool for teachers to use when trying to determine if students have previous knowledge of a concept or if they understand what was taught in class. It is a great way to have a visual representation for students to collaborate with other individuals. I enjoy using Mentimeter and I like the immediate results.]]> 2017-11-27 19:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210615063 Task#3: PollEverywhere jgjohnson98 https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210619796 http://bit.ly/2Aefh8f

Poll Everywhere is a great tool to use in the classroom because it allows teachers to quickly cage student understanding.  Poll Everywhere is not difficult to create or share, which is important to teachers.  I have used this tool to generate discussions in my classroom, as is seen with the Poll Everywhere that I attached here.

Linoit is an interesting resource that can be used in the classroom for collaboration.  It is important to go through the tutorial because there are so many options available for users. Linoit allows teachers to share student ideas, either with a smaller group or the larger group. There are ways to add different types of media so that resources are available for students or they have options for sharing information. ]]> 2017-11-27 20:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210641707 Task #5: Kahoot jgjohnson98 https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210651254 http://bit.ly/JGJKahoot

Kahoot is a great way to review concepts with students. They are able to use several different forms of technology to access the game and it brings out their competitive spirit. Even though not all students will win, they still enjoy the competition with the students around them. It is teacher-paced so as soon as a misconception is noticed the teacher can address it immediately. At the end of the Kahoot teachers are also able to safe the results and can use this information to direct their instruction. Not only can Kahoot be used as a tool for review it can also be used as a pre-assessment, allowing teachers to see what their students already know about the concept they are getting ready to cover.

Answer Garden is a quick way to poll your students. The more common answers will become larger on the screen and this provides the opportunity to discuss why. Are these answers correct, incorrect, etc. This also allows the students to anonymously share their answers without worrying if they are correct or not. Creating an Answer Garden is very easy because there is not account to set up or several steps to the step up.

Tiny URL is an easy convenient tool to use whenever you are creating a link for a website. When I am posting things to my classroom website I am able to create a tiny url that my students can easily understand and often times they will remember them. Teachers can use tiny url to provide students with a way to sign up for tutoring, complete self-assessments, etc. ]]> 2017-11-27 21:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210663231 Task #8: Google Docs jgjohnson98 https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210668525 https://tinyurl.com/jgjtppedit

Anyone that has the link to this document can edit the document.  When using this is allows for collaboration without having to necessarily be face to face.  Using this as a tool in the classroom for students to collaborate can enhance student learning.  In addition to using it in the classroom teachers can collaborate with their peers to create common lessons and assessments.  
If you would like to allow individuals to copy the document without changing your master you just replace “edit” at the end of the web address to “copy”.  However, your sharing rights must be change to anyone with the link.

Today's Meet is a easy way to provide students with the opportunity to ask questions or carry on discussions without interrupting the class. Today's Meet is also a great way to share the discussions with students that may have not been in attendance or just to allow them a refresher of the questions. I work with a Math teacher that using this tool for this reason and will go in after class and answer students questions. ]]> 2017-11-27 21:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210674069 Task #10: Reflection jgjohnson98 https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210675374 Completing this process was not extremely difficult to me because I use or have used several of these web tools in my teacher and content writing.  It was nice to have to opportunity to be reminded of some of the tools that I do not use as frequently.  I plan to continue my growth in this area my seeking out the opportunities that allow me to learn about new tools in addition to updates to older tools.  I work as a content writer for Discovery so I continuously research new tools for use in PD or I am able to learn from my peers when we collaborate with one another.  
I enjoyed this process, however I would possibly suggesting having individuals share a tool that they use or are familiar with that is not on the google document. This would provide an opportunity to learn about more tools. ]]> 2017-11-27 21:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jgjohnson98/49wc1iak4af3/wish/210675374
