Why is it important? en-us 2017-03-14 19:56:12 UTC 2017-05-17 05:25:47 UTC hello@padlet.com hloefke https://padlet.com/hloefke/o9pqb83li2qh/wish/160097414 My students love Quizlet Live.  They work together on teams and like the competition towards other. I think it is a better choice than Kahoot because it is less time based. ]]> 2017-03-14 19:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hloefke/o9pqb83li2qh/wish/160097414 tarmstrong10 https://padlet.com/hloefke/o9pqb83li2qh/wish/160104237 My students loved it the first time we tried it, and keep asking to do it again. We will be coming back to it in both the genetics and evolution units.

They not only enjoy the collaboration, but they are able to answer each other's questions and learn from their peers.]]> 2017-03-15 18:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hloefke/o9pqb83li2qh/wish/160348845 hloefke https://padlet.com/hloefke/o9pqb83li2qh/wish/160348975 Don't use the same old, same old. Try something new! It can be nerve-racking (or more work) to do something different, but it pays off when it comes to engagement.]]> 2017-03-15 18:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hloefke/o9pqb83li2qh/wish/160348975 https://padlet.com/hloefke/o9pqb83li2qh/wish/160368461 I find that when I give my students the ability to choose for themselves they will put forth more effort.
