Amanda Barham Technology Proficiency Portfolio by Amanda Barham https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to save the world! --Nelson Mandela en-us 2017-11-21 19:56:38 UTC 2025-10-08 10:44:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Folder.png Technology Task #1 Padlet abarham0825 https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209254999 This is a great application! I love that students can comment on each other's padlets and that I can be a collaborator with the student! Additionally, I love the moderation portion of the commenting. This allows the teacher and student in charge of the padlet to approve only appopriate comments!
 Padlet has been very each to use!

 

My idea.....My school has priority time in which is used for intervention! Instead of creating a classroom for EVERY intervention, I could create a Padlet! Then students view the Padlet with their assignment and can interact with me through the website!

 

Teachers could use Padlet as an alternative to Classroom, PowerPoint and other various applications! Teachers could use Padlet to check for understanding, provide videos, in depth pictures, and monitor collaboration! Teachers could use Padlet for Warm-UP questions!

This website was easy to use; however, I am not sure it is my favorite polling website. Teachers could use this in their classroom to check for understanding. I really liked the ability to control the time questions are asked so students cannot prolong answering the question. ]]> 2017-11-21 20:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209261851 Technology Task #3 Poll Everywhere abarham0825 https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209265048 So crazy enough, I think I might like Mentimeter over Polls Everywhere. Since I have used Polls Everywhere frequently in my class and during presentations, I thought I liked it better. Mentimeter actually has more options and is easier to enter the polls! This website can be used the same way as the Mentimeter. I had never used the word cloud and this would be great for describing a character, object, or place!]]> 2017-11-21 20:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209265048 Technology Task #4 Linoit abarham0825 https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209271837 http://linoit.com/users/abarham0825/canvases/Photosynthesis%3A%20What%20is%20it%3F
This is a new application for me and I LOVE it! Implementing in my classroom after the break! I have been dissecting the standards with my students and students could use the sticky notes to ask questions about the standard. This could also be used for exit slips with the tags being: I got this, I am getting this, or I am lost!

There are multiple uses for this quick and easy web application! And easy to share with parents.]]> 2017-11-21 21:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209271837 Technology Task #5 Kahoot abarham0825 https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209276572 Kahoot is already a staple in my classroom! I have used the program to pre-assess my students, check for understanding, and review for test. The students love the program as they are competitive by nature! This application truly allows students instant feedback on recall information!]]> 2017-11-21 21:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209276572 Technology Task #6 Answer Garden abarham0825 https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209282074 https://answergarden.ch/594749
This WILL be used in my classroom. The brainstorming aspect could be used for pre-assessment, to check for understanding, and to break down standards. I like how the word becomes larger with more submission and that students don't have to make another log in!

This is useful for a teacher or consultant when having individuals navigate to a certain website! The easier the url, the less confusion there is for people trying to get to the website!]]> 2017-11-21 21:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209283285 Technology Task #8- Google Doc abarham0825 https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209285440 https://tinyurl.com/barhamsummer
Google Drive, Google Hangouts, Google Classroom, and let's just be honest, Google is my main platform since my school is a Google School. I have really enjoyed this platform and getting out of Google for the day! I have presented on the various forms of Google and how they can help a teacher tremendously! I really love "the history" portion of Google Drive because it makes students HONEST. They can't lie to their parents or me about their progress on assignment because all I have to do is look through their history! Also, Google is amazing for collaboration.]]> 2017-11-21 22:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209285440 Technology Task #9-Today's Meet abarham0825 https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209287722 https://todaysmeet.com/ThanksgivingPlans

This is a great website. This could be used for group work, teacher "office" hours, discussion during class, and/or snow day assignments! Our district is looking into home assignments instead of snow days! You could host class for 1 hour via the Today's Meet to cover your class period. ]]> 2017-11-21 22:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209287722 Technology Task #10-Reflection abarham0825 https://padlet.com/abarham0825/amandabarham/wish/209290624 Thank you for this assignment. I use technology in my classroom on an every day basis; however, my current school district is Google based so every training for the past two years  has been Google related. I can't wait to integrate some of these Web 2.0 tools into my classroom.
