What would happen is I write a topic or question as the title. I will write the directions in the subtitle and students will be able to post their opinions to my post as we did in the ice breaker on day 1 of class.]]> 2017-03-14 16:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/benardm17/oigl9b9ax07a/wish/160036144 benardm17 https://padlet.com/benardm17/oigl9b9ax07a/wish/160036839 Creating a space where students can collaborative in video form is a fun activity for my 5th grade and I could use it in my performance task unit instead or in addition to Google Docs.
Each student would be able to post various videos communicating to their group members. For instance, I would create different posts with their group number and students would collaborate together within their group's bulletin. Unlike Google Docs., this will allow students to better understand each other by watching and listening. At the end of the task, students can create a video reflection.

First, it is engaging for people of all ages(depending on the content) the teacher is not front and center like in a typical classroom setting. 
Second, the teacher can use this to introduce lessons or to make topics more understandable by creating a story with various characters. Another way that Plotagon may be used is when my students are to make a presentation on a research topic; they can present the same information in a video format. Each of them can be characters, explaining to the rest of the class.  This idea involves collaboration among students-- a post-industrial way of learning. ]]> 2017-07-26 10:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/benardm17/oigl9b9ax07a/wish/179489956 benardm17 https://padlet.com/benardm17/oigl9b9ax07a/wish/179490328 I love this site. It has many templates I could use for my classroom when we learn vocabulary, play games involving vocabulary, (crossword puzzles, board games, word searches, bingo, etc.)]]> 2017-07-26 10:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/benardm17/oigl9b9ax07a/wish/179490328 benardm17 https://padlet.com/benardm17/oigl9b9ax07a/wish/179490416 They have amazing YouTube videos that explain topics and review the alphabet for my young learners. They also have a Facebook group and speaking of Facebook, I can create a Facebook group for my students (private of course) where we can discuss what we did in previous lessons, share ideas from the web on various projects (with high school students)]]> 2017-07-26 10:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/benardm17/oigl9b9ax07a/wish/179490416 benardm17 https://padlet.com/benardm17/oigl9b9ax07a/wish/179490554 I like the idea of using Moodle or another platform where I can summarize the lessons for students . This can also help me keep track of what I teach. My professors have done this during my graduate schooling and I find it very beneficial as it keeps me organized and I know exactly what I need to read/do for the next lesson]]> 2017-07-26 10:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/benardm17/oigl9b9ax07a/wish/179490554
