I think that some teachers feel intimidated by it at first (I sure did!), but it gets much easier after some practice. One of the greatest opportunities with blogger is the chance to connect with an authentic audience. Next up, I would love to dive into WordPress.]]> 2018-01-22 02:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/223184074 https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/224031381 2018-01-23 21:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/224031381 beeken_laurel https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/231351406 Another tool I stumbled upon in this topic (and just a few weeks ago elsewhere too) is GooseChase EDU.  I haven't yet really explored it, but I would love to find ways to incorporate it in my classroom. 
 Oh, and finally, BreakoutEDU is awesome for collaboration.  I even had some of my students create their own breakouts last semester and the amount of collaboration required was quite significant.

I would like to incorporate class dojo. I read that it was a great way to increase communication among parents, students and teachers. It also incorporates points to the students when you catch them doing something great.  It is also very kid oriented where the students can be entertained as well as collaborate and communicate.]]> 2018-03-11 14:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/240568547 https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/267867388 I use Google Drive frequently myself, but I've not used it in my high school courses yet.  I'd like to get my students using it to collaborate in ideation for projects, etc. After looking at the other digital collaboration tools, I'd like to explore Boardthing as an idea generation area for my students when working in groups from home when in a classroom where I will use the flipped model for some of my instruction.

I love the theory behind this activity and how it promotes creativity, the expression of own ideas and the emphasis on connections for learning. This tool on the website: https://www.mindmeister.com/es
provides a very nice opportunity to integrate a nice framework for learning with this DT. I would do it with my students F2F first and then I would introduce the website for further use and practice. Thank you for sharing :)

I constantly talk to the students about the importance of communication and collaboration. All careers will require some form of communication and collaboration and our students must continue to perfect these skills. In my course, I have the students complete a very comprehensive Public Policy project in which they are working in groups to identify and solve an issue within their community. The first thing I have the students do is create a Google doc and add each of their group mates. This allows all members of the group to work on the same document simultaneously. As they complete work, they constantly have to communicate with each other so that they can collaborate on their project. ]]> 2018-06-23 23:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/268312615 lmmontoya25 https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/268518383 I definitively loved “scrumy”, since my students at UNAl should submit a group work final Project and they do not have enough time to get together out of classes. This tool will surely solve this difficulty and at the same time, I will have the possibility to see their progress when working on the final task. 
This will be also useful for my students at school.

We still have Chromebooks, but this is really changing tools availa;e for our student. I think OneNote is fabulous for digital literacy and critical thinking with elements like digital inking on text, pdfs, ir images. But there is also a collaboration space available. ]]> 2018-08-25 03:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/275295707 heidi_curiazza https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/276269931 I like Google Classroom!  I use the Stream to post announcements and assignments, it is easy to eidt and I have the students follow it from top to bottom for the day.  I always start off with an agenda and then everything that follows is completed in order.  Then as students submit completed assignments I have a quick view of those students that are not complete.  I can grade their assignments in Classroom and comment to them either on the assignment or in a commment box.  Students can also post comments or ask questions that may be relevant to others and get great discussions going.  Google Docs allows students to share their document and work collaboratively or do peer editiing.  Along with Google Classroom you can incorporate Google Hangouts, Google Slides, etc., all really effective collaboration tools, in my opinion.  I am excited about learning and using other tools for collaboration, it just takes time to test them out myself, I greatly appreciate recommendations from my peers.  I have now used Padlet, but sometimes I find it tricky to navigate and be able to read all posts (some seem to hide).  I have used Blogger, and like it, but find Google Classroom basically does many of the same things and I can monitor a student's progression on specific activities from anywhere that I have internet.]]> 2018-08-29 15:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/276269931 vaniwaj https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/276391849 I like Scrumy because it allows students to work together to create a project and I can use our blended days to give time for students to collaborate. I also that as a teacher I can see the process.]]> 2018-08-29 19:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/276391849 https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/279098216 I like to use flipgrip.

I love to post a question a make my students answer in Spanish recording themselves. Also i's a great tool because we can create connections with other schools. I use to post the question for my students from the states and from Barcelona and they have to compare their opinions and comment other's ideas.

It allows students to independently document and share what they are learning at school. As a teacher I can approve or deny work submitted. I can privately share it with family members or with the class and enable comments. I can approve or deny comments to students as well and from others (parents, grandparents, principal, etc) I have had a lot of success using this and kids can use pictures, audio, video or add links to share their work. It is cumulative and the kids can scroll to observe how they have changed as learners over time.

I can see using this site for discussion in class and out. Students who are not as likely to speak up in class may feel more comfortable about stating their ideas and thoughts online instead of in public. This would also be a good use of collaboration and feedback on ideas.]]> 2018-10-31 21:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/299183457 https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/305981197 I often use geogebra to demonstrate theorems and postulates in geometry.  It is one thing for students for students to see a diagram that shows a specific property but totally different when they see that the property is true for any situation.  For example, I can show that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other no matter what parallel gram I am looking at.  I can construct a parallelogram and move it however I want but the diagonals will always bisect each other.

It’s a good tool for summarizing learned content and engages learners, because they can do the summary according to their own liking. Among others, I want them to use it for their group work.]]> 2018-12-18 08:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jpellegrini2/go5yijjls7ok/wish/315430225
