Its an efficient solution for quizzes due to the automatic grading of the quizzes through the software.

With using a Nickname you can start chatting instantly with other people.

         <author>mmaclinconsulting</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/mmaclinconsulting/mmaclinportfolio/wish/219120719</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This process was relatively easy to follow and continued growth would be to utilize more web 2.0 tools. The web 2.0 tools that are in the list could be very beneficial tools for schools to utilize in their teaching environments. Overall these are great tools and competency's . I would expect that a majority of educators would have the tools in there tool belt that would be used to enhance there presentation skills. However I will say that one of the major shifts in my own thinking is how do these tools encourage deeper learning and thinking for our students and also engages adults in participation. For example, "Answer Garden" is a superb tool that can be used to increase critically thinking in our classrooms. Also learning that there resources that show how this can be used in a critical way? That is what many "non-techie" educators will need when using this fantastic technology in the classroom. </div>]]></description>
