(a)Children could write their thoughts about the theme of the week or e.g write one word that they have learned or found interesting during that day. (b) Short tasks may be set. For example in Maths: 3d shapes: Find and write down what things you've in your house that have the shape of a cylinder.(c)Children could post and share videos or photos related to a particular topic. (d) Show and Tell purposes. (e)Children have to look up one interesting word which they would use in a particular topic e.g. PICNIC, as a preparation for creative writing. Child could write for e.g. 'delicious', 'comfortable' etc...]]> 2017-05-01 10:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169137332 Christina Gruppetta cgruppetta https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169156930 1. Word of the day: teacher displays a word and students have to use it in a sentence.
2. What did you learn today about *specific topic*. This could serve as a summary of a lesson.
3. My favourite part of the story/character. After a story-telling/ reading lesson students write about their favourite part/character etc...
4. Writing a composition: example my favourite food. Students can attach pictures/recipes/write sentences etc...
5. New words: students pick a word from a book which they did not understand, look it up in the dictionary and write it down on the wall with the meaning next to it. They could also attach a picture/gif etc.. This allows students to learn more words.
6. To research a topic & brainstorm ideas : Example underwater creatures: students can include videos, pictures, information etc... then write sentences about it.
7. After an outing students can write about their experience/ attach photos/ drawings etc. This could be shared with other students at school/during assembly or kept as a class memory.
8. Display a problem to the students. They have to find solutions and write them down. Then give feedback/critisism on other solutions and choose the best one/few.
9. Summary of lessons for students. They could then do some research about the topic and attach videos/games/ links/ worksheets etc about it which other students can then work out/read/play etc...]]> 2017-05-01 13:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169156930 Joanne Mercieca giovanna_mercieca https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169221136 It can be used to share ideas for creative writing.
It can also be to write their short writing such as weekly diary or weather forecast...]]> 2017-05-01 16:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169221136 Elizabeth Chetcuti lizchetcuti https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169243242 I would use padlet to encourage students to list their top ten story books and I will ask them to write a brief summary on each one.
I will use it to encourage children to write their opinion about a chapter we read each week in class. I really like the string mode of showcasing children's work. ]]> 2017-05-01 17:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169243242 Diana Sacco Decelis decelisd https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169243941 A book review is a very good idea for students to show what they have read and maybe encourage others to read the book.
It could also serve as a dictionary or new words that can be used for a creative writing. it could also be used as a reference for home works given. it seems that it has an endless use, if used correctly I'm sure that it will be a very useful tool.]]> 2017-05-01 17:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169243941 Antoinette Ellul ellulant https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169268826 Padlet can be used by the students to continue a given story. Students can type their ideas into the padlet and continue the story themselves.
Another way for the padlet to be used is for students to review content and work done during the lessons .]]> 2017-05-01 19:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169268826 Karen Farrugia mickar https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169538591
I have experienced using padlet quite a few times. Last year I was taking part in an eTwinning project about Mother's Day with another year 2 teacher. We made two padlets, one for children where they had to input what they liked most in the project about Mother's Day. Another padlet was open for mothers where they had to input their views about the Mother's Day celebration open to them.
This year I repeated similar padlets for a different project about webtools having the children input their favourite web tools and the parent's views regarding the teaching of webtools to their kids.
Different ideas could be for Phonics when introducing a new phoneme and having pupils input words including the particular phoneme taught.
Another idea could be related to rhyming words where they have to write two or three words that rhyme together.
As a brainstorming of ideas about a given topic such as about the colour red where kids can write cherries, tomatoes, berries, lips, lipstick, etc.
A padlet can also be used as a briefing for the teacher where s/he may include various activities planned to be done for a particular topic. ]]> 2017-05-02 20:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169538591 Mandy Debono mandydebono17 https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169546764 Padlet is another great idea of how to use 2.0 tools in class with kids. This is the first time I tried to use Padlet. These are some of the ideas how I think I can make use of Padlet in class:

Make noticeboards about various information of specific topics (using videos, pictures and links). Children can access it during the weekend to become familiar and knowledgeable about the topic/ theme of the week.
Discuss/ Introduce themes by sharing key vocabulary related to the theme.
Share videos with children which they could discuss about after watching them. Children will then write some notes about what was learnt on Padlet.
Brainstorming, of for example, mathematical vocabulary words. Children can also be challenged to create problem stories with a given sum or using specific mathematical operators. These ideas will be shared on Padlet, then discussed.
Bookmark favourite sites to share with children, which they can make use of to revise educational concepts such as maths games.
Children can search new encountered words and share their findings with others through Padlet, such as scientific words during Science lessons.
After Guided Reading Sessions, children can use Padlet to write some sentences about their favourite character in the story. They can also be asked to write a short summary about what the book was about.
Making a 'My Favourite Books' section in both English and Maltese. Children will write titles of their favourite books individually. This will motivate other children to read books which their friends already read and listed as 'their favourites'.
Children can show their work by taking photos and uploading them. They can also write a brief description of their work.

It could be used so that children anticipate what will happen next in a story. Padlets could be used for brainstorming such as planning for creative writing. Students could also state what they liked or did not like about a particular story, class activity or class outing. They could also upload videos, pictures or photos about the topic of the week. ]]> 2017-05-03 02:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169578251 kayleigh mottershead kayleigh_ff https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169622102 Padlet could be useful for different things in class.
main thing I thought of was a brainstorming lesson.
after reading a book / watching a clip / having a lesson based on a particular topic...
get padlet on, type the main topic In the centre and let each student add a web of their thoughts.
Then you could move on to pros and cons.
another benefit is that the children would be able to access it at any point.

1. Before starting a new book in class, the students can make predictions based on the title page and by skimming through the pages. They can refer back to it at the end of the book. (Can also be done as a prediction of each chapter).
2. Once every two weeks we have a show and tell session. Students can take down notes about interesting facts/things they've learnt through the session while also asking questions and giving positive feedback to the student who did the show and tell.
3. We also have a History Treasure Hunt once a year. Students can use padlet to write down new information which they acquire with each stage they reach. Each stage can also be backed up with photos taken through the whole activity and uploaded on padlet.
4. Padlet can also be used as a class board during research. The teacher introduces the topic and students can share the information they find, add ideas and also discuss together.]]> 2017-05-03 15:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169718259 Sarah Mallia sarahborg85 https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169800360 Padlet is a great place for gathering ideas, sharing them and modifying them later.

The students are already familiar with the sticky notes and padlet gives us the opportunity to use these sticky notes virtually and make them accessible to others also- internet based.

I already used Padlet in the classroom and it is very child friendly. I used padlet in a number of ways such as :

1. posting a summary with a picture of their favourite reading book;
2. summarising what they learnt at the end of the day;
3. predict the end of the story and write it on the padlet;
4. encourage students to post useful links related to specific topics;
5. share ideas of how an activity or outing can be improved;
6. Creating stories and other students add to it by adding a note;

I would like to read the other participants responses as I am sure that by sharing ideas we will become more resourceful and practical at the same time. ]]> 2017-05-03 21:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169800360 Jeanelle Sultana Peregin jeandor https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169878289 Padlet is good tool as you can use it to display information for different topics. You can also add images, links, videos, and more. Another great thing about this tool is that you can return to add more information later. ]]> 2017-05-04 09:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169878289 Donald Ciappara donaldciappara https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169882109 Padlet is an interesting tool to use for student collaboration and sharing of ideas. As an ICT teacher I plan to use this tool as a showcase for the student's work, most of their work remains saved in the computer they are working on. This tool is a great place to expose their work. ]]> 2017-05-04 09:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169882109 Marilyn Abdilla https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/169922595 Another great tool which a teacher can use in class is the Padlet app. Although this is my first experience in using it, in the coming years I intend to use it as described below:
1. To publish children's work. It would be a good idea if the teacher creates padlets for both languages and the students upload their writings. An advantage of this tool is that they can even take a photo of their work.
For instance, this week at our school we celebrated 'Healthy Lifestyle Week' and we created acrostic poems and it would have been a good idea if each group in my class displayed their work on padlet.
2. It is a good tool for the class teacher to write the learning intention and success criteria during the lesson. Then a plenary exercise is carried out with the students and they share what whey would have learnt.
3. In creative writing, padlet serves as a good word wall and other useful vocabulary. Instead of using Padlet as a 'Ticket out the Door' strategy, children can be encouraged to use it in the Editing stage of the writing process where they can leave a positive comment and write a suggestion to the writer.
4. Since it is a collaborative resources, it is an alternative tool to 'Answer Garden' and there is no limit of word count unlike the latter resource.
5. Another idea is that children can share their projects with their friends. For example in a Maltese lesson I used playdough to teach the Imperative and asked students to use 'Animator' in order to create a stopmotion video. Children liked this task and there was a good number that tried it on their own and used their toys at home. It's a good idea if they share their work and display it on padlet.
6. In Maths, it can be used in the 'number of the week' activity or else a teacher can write a story sum and address problem solving strategies. Thus, on the padlet students can discuss ways on how they can solve them. This can be done as group work.
7. Padlet is good for feedback after a school activity or after a school outing.
8. In reading, padlet can be changed into a graphic organiser for book reviews where students can write about the story setting, their opinion about the book, analysing different characters etc...

I think that the children would be eager to carry out some tasks which they might find boring or not confident about such as writing.
One could post a prompt and have the children write and post their ideas.
Vocabulary -An other idea would be to work more on vocabulary and give the children a new word which they have to try and come up with its meaning.

Vocabulary - Give the children a vocabulary work and make them write a sentence each about it.

Writing - The children can change the ending of a story or a book read in class or at home.

Another idea is to get the children and post a short summary about a book they have read and also write why others should read that particular book.

Characters in book - The children could describe their favourite character from a book they are reading (this can include a school reader such as Five Children and It which the children usually like so much).

It is a collaborative resource and this helps students to get more engaged.

Padlet is a versatile resource as it can be used in many lessons. Here are some lesson ideas I thought about.

· Students upload an image of an interesting site situated in their village or town and then they write some information about it.

· They upload an image of their favourite painting and write some information about the artist.

· A good topic to discuss with students is internet safety. They can share a video about how to keep safe online. A discussion in class can follow.

· After a shared reading session, students can write on the padlet the name of their favourite character. This information can be used to make a bar graph during a maths lesson.

· Students can also share information about their favourite character.

· The teacher can upload an image and students can write different adjectives to describe that image.

b) Brainstorming activity.
c) You can post a picture and students write a set of questions as an interview.
d) They can invent personal information (formula) about pic.
e) They can make up their own advert, invitation, notice, ecc and show case it to share ideas.
f) Post a text with mistakes for students to arrange and amend.]]> 2017-05-06 11:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/170301636 Joanne Spiteri jspiteri86 https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/170327513 Padlet is an educational and collaborative tool, which can be used in a number of different ways:
a) discussion about a particular topic. Would you ...? Why/why not? What is your opinion about...?
The discussion can take place amongst students from different classes, schools and even countries.
b) as a brainstorming activity.
c) a display of students' work, where students can even add any type of attachment which they would have created themselves, such as power point presentations, brochures etc.
d) as a notice board, where reminders are pinned onto the padlet.
e) writing a summary of a book they read recently (attaching a picture of the book cover) thus encouraging other students to read the book.
f) posting a blurred picture and students ask questions about the picture, to guess what the picture is.

Padlet is very student friendly. Modifying its wallpaper, icon etc keeps the padlet 'fresh' and interesting. Its uses are endless. What a great resource to use in the classroom!

It is a very easy to use tool and the students would be encouraged to freely add their ideas or opinions to a lesson. It can also be a link between teachers and parents where the parents can see the progress of their children if this is used as a display of work.

Since everyone can write on the padlet at the same time, it makes a lesson more interesting and exciting for the pupils.
Revising of the draft written by the students may be done by the students themselves who can comment on the piece of writing.
It is an excellent way of exhibiting one's creative writing to all the class, rather than the usual displays using charts and paper. Apart for being used as a brainstorming tool, teachers can also ask pupils to write slogans about for example using water and electricity wisely on the padlet.
Pupils can insert pictures in relation to the topic being discussed.

It is very versatile and can be used in many different ways.

· History. Outing in Valletta.

Taking photos of monuments and finding information and sharing their work by uploading picture and information found under each monument and presenting it.

· Writing instructions. Example making a sandwich. Students take photos and write instructions under each picture.

· Creating a Malta history timeline from prehistoric time through to those people that occupied and settled on the Maltese islands.

· Read and record their favourite writing and drawing a picture associated with their writing.

· At the beginning of the year students upload their photo and write information about themselves and present it to class.

· Teacher presents student’s work to be discussed and evaluated.

· Formative assessment after a lesson. Teacher writes question and student answer using their tablet.
- Teacher writes a long word. Students write as many words as they can from this word. The student that has the most well spelled words wins.

· Students paste links to craft projects which they wish to be done throughout the year or on special occasions. When presented to class they decide which ones to do. The teacher can also present her own ideas and have students vote for the most favourite one.

· Dictation done on padlet by students. Students are to stay anonymous and teacher revisits common errors and use them for her spelling lesson.

· Solid shapes lesson. Students search for images or take photos of objects in the shape of that presented by the teacher.

· Collaborating with another school showing what is common and different in their school environment by posting pictures and writing.

Possibilities are endless.

It is a versatile tool which opens the door to creativity! One great thing is that it is easy to use. Here are some ways how I would use the Padlet in my classroom:
- Word/ Expression/ Idiom of the week: Children are encouraged to write a sentence using the idiom of the week and post it on the padlet wall.
- Brainstorm, Discussion and Problem Solving
- Create a Padlet with useful educational links for children.
- Closure of a topic : Children would be asked to write something they have learned from a particular topic.
- Formative assessment : it would be a great tool for ongoing assessment.
- Activate prior knowledge: Before starting a topic you can create an activity to see what children already know about that particular topic
- Parents: an easy way to share what is being done in class with parents

It is a wonderful resource where children can learn from each other.

It is intended to be used as a 'refresher' for revision purposes and elicits the most salient points covered in this topic. Therefore, it is simply a teacher-created public wall which doesn't make use of interactive facilities. In the future, I would like to use this web tool more amply:
- foreign languages: 'New Word of the Day' bulletin board.
- lesson prompts for Visible Thinking (Ron Ritchaart) lessons
- Literature: considering differnt characters' viewpoints
- students portfolios....
Indeed, this is a multi-faceted tool which applies itself to several aspects of academic life!]]> 2018-05-02 20:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/257443772 Annabelle Azzopardi ardi3105 https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/257455890 Padlet is another way of creating learning while having fun at the same time. It is easy to use. It can be used as note book or diary. It can be used both for team work and individual working.

It is a good idea to use this tool for critical writing. Students may use their tablet to pool out ideas and share them with their peers. Then together as a team we see the pros and cons and discuss each aim in detail.]]> 2018-05-03 07:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/257547561 Francine Attard francine_attard https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/257561670 Padlet is a very handy tool to use in the classroom. It allows both teachers and students to brainstorm and share ideas and research. Moreover, teachers can gather students' work, collecting information on what the students know about particular topics and what they have learned. Students who are shy or afraid to ask questions can post questions anonymously. Padlet gives students a voice, by allowing them to speak through technology.

In class, the padlet can be an excellent tool for creative writing. Children can display their work and share it with their peers, who can add comments and give immediate peer feedback. However, there is a drawback since the teacher will not have immediate access to the feedback given and therefore it is necessary to lay some ground rules and discuss the kind of feedback that can be given beforehand.
Padlet also provides a space where students can display their research and share their findings with others.
It is a tool where shy or reserved children can post safely since it offers them the opportunity to post anonymously.
As a subject teacher, it is rather difficult and time consuming to prepare different chart for different classes. Using the padlet, as a teacher I have the opportunity to design one chart and make it accessible to all the students. ]]> 2018-05-03 09:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/257573035 Francesca Bugeja https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/257965694 Padlet is a great and easy tool that can be used with children of all ages. Children can brainstorm their ideas and easily share them with their peers. I can use this with my 5 year old students where they write words on padlet instead of using their copybook. It can be used after a story telling lesson where children can share their favourite part of the story. You can also include Padlet during Maths, children can be given a challenge and write the answer on Padlet and they can see different answers and share their different views.]]> 2018-05-04 09:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/257965694 Natalie natcal126 https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/258074081 Padlet is a great tool as a classroom tool. It can be used as part of group work or also as individual work. It is ideal because the children can share the link to their padlet and others can view their ideas and work. An example is having children in groups working on different sections of a specific activity. Each group creates a padlet to link items found or write about their journey and then share it with the rest of the class. Like this, each group will be able to see the process that every group was working on.]]> 2018-05-04 15:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/258074081 Melvin tonnamelvin https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/258232110 Padlets are relatively new to me and after doing some reading and becoming more familiar with how they are used in the classroom, I have become a lot more positive about their effective use in class. Padlets can be used to brainstorm and exchange ideas with regards to a particular topic or idea, celebrate students’ work as an online portfolio, create slogans and notices and create thinking maps and mind maps. Children can also provide positive feedback about other children’s writing tasks or discuss a project or a book they have recently read. Padlets can also be used to analyse pictures, enrich one’s vocabulary and give suggestions of books titles for others to read. ]]> 2018-05-05 16:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/258232110 Samantha Giordmaina Zammit samantha_giordmaina_zammit https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/258232659 Padlet is a great educational tool and in fact, it is another great idea of how to incorporate 2.0 tools in the classroom. Padlet is very user-friendly and versatile since it can be used in number of different ways. This is the first time I am using Padlet and as I am becoming more familiar with it, I am realising how useful this educational tool is. Padlet is great to keep the students motivated and interested. It is a great resource to be used in class, in fact amongst other ways, it can be used to:

a) Facilitated discussion about any topic

b) As a brainstorming activity

c) To share students’ work

d) It is excellent for composition writing

e) To display the children’s researches about a topic

f) For show and tell

g) Sequencing writing

h) Writing thoughts about a theme or topic

i) Book reviews

j) Instruction writing

k) Formative assessment

l) Story writing

m) Sharing of ideas

-Webquest between a group of students
-Showcasing students' work...even linking it to other online tools
-Brainstorming in class
-Students' can list what they know about a topic at the beginning - prior learning
-Sharing useful links on a topic
- say in PSD create a challenging question and students list their viewpoints in preparation for a debate
- In preparation for a project students share ideas with you prior to actual carrying it out
-teacher can activate the comment feature either to allow for Peer feedback or to provide formative feedback on students' work
-the teacher can also provide audio or video feedback - time is so precious during lesson time that this can help personalize learning.
- after a field trip, students can share photos and videos (not of each other) on Padlet
- show case work that can be anonymous and allow students to reflect on them ]]> 2018-05-05 17:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/258236128 Roberta Azzopardi roberta_azzopardi https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/258306379 Last year I was introduced to Padlet and I have also witnessed its usage. I am sure that using this tool is great fun for children as they can share ideas and they can also see each other's work.
Some ways I would use tablet are the following:
Brainstorming - You can give the children a prompt or a title and ask them to write down the first thing that comes to mind. Later these ideas can be discussed as a whole class.

Questioning - You can ask a question to the children such as a higher order one and let them write what they think.

Introduce a new topic - You can write the title of a new topic or else the title of an understanding text then the children write what they know about that topic/title.

I have once used it during as PSD lesson in which I wanted the children to learn more about each other. I had done the ice breaker 2 truths and 1 lie. In the previous years I used the same ice breakers using pieces of paper but I must admit that the usage of Padlet helped the lesson to be more fun.

Another use is for the children to write compliments about each other during a PSD lesson.

It could be also used during a Math lesson by giving the children a challenging sum and they try to solve it. Then together as a class they can view what the thinking behind their answers was by explaining to their peers.

One can create a yearly class Padlet to share resources and links based on the topics done throughout the year. Since I am teaching early year I can use Padlet as a class portfolio to share with the parents. In this portfolio one can add all the snapped pictures of the student work, or even video clips of some of the activities done with the students and group working in class.

I will definitely be using Padlet more next year in class whilst allowing the kids to participate more by creating our class Padlet which things that might interest them more.

Since I see my students once a week (becaue I am a subject teacher) I intend to use padlet to post the notes and resources of each lesson on it. This way the students can access my resources and any revision work from home and it can still be available throught the whole scholastic year.
Another thing which I can use padlet for, is to post photos of their work being done in class. This way, I am encouraging them to promote their work and even parents can see what they are doing in class.]]> 2018-05-07 07:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/258420988 Nadette Camilleri nardinucca27 https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/258663085 I think Padlet is a great resource and so versatile. It is easy to use - and children quickly get the hang of it. On this Padlet wall I read some great ideas on how Padlet can be used. Here are some other ideas:

For getting to know each other at the beginning of the year (pupils post some info about themselves)
It could be used as a simplified 'class blog'
Could be used for working a Maths problem, where pupils try to work out a problem and attach a picture of how they worked it
For lessons such as Shapes / Angles in Maths: pupils search for images, copy URLs to paste into a sticky on Padlet wall
Use as a showcase for children's work (Pupils attach doc to be opened and read on wall)
Debates / Opinions on a topic
Pupils create a Padlet with info / images / links on a certain topic. When ready, they print a QR code to it. together with a title. Pupils can then scan QR codes and view each others' work
Use Padlet for pre-assessment. Use it again at the end of the unit, where they then write what they have learnt
Book discussions
Outings 'blog' with photos of pupils and sticky notes of their experiences
Get well notes for a sick classmate
Birthday walls with photos of birthday kids and wishes written by classmates
Celebration of good Behaviour - post pictures and examples of good behaviour/deeds

discussion or feedback about an activity
presentation for a research
brainstorming or collective ideas
quiz; the teacher pose a question and the children write it down
bulletin where the teacher show the children's writings
KWL cause many times, even myself, find it hard to find a space on the 'normal' whiteboard
children write a summary about their favourite book/film
voting i.e. for Students' School Council
vocabulary; could be a revision or brainstorming in pre-writing session

I am sure that whatever the plan is the children will love it.

As far as I can see you can use padlet in many ways in class. You can use it as a lesson starter, show and tell, brainstorming, presentation of children's work, post pictures and much more.

It's like a piece of paper, but on the Web :)
An example is that I can use it in class as it useful for any subject from math to science, Padlet can help me summarize a large amount of information and present it in a visually pleasing way. I can also put in text, photos, graphs and other learning tools and share the image with students before a big test or discussion. ]]> 2018-05-16 19:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/261357812 Angele Debono angeledebono92 https://padlet.com/nelgiles/8k24889nkydy/wish/261387599 I thought that Padlet is a very good tool to be used with the students as it is relatively child friendly. Having said that I would like to keep exploring its possibilities and uses as I thought that Lino and ThingLink were very good tools as well.
