https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8 My description of Creately en-us 2021-03-07 18:36:30 UTC 2023-03-01 09:22:45 UTC hello@padlet.com koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279157843 Creately is an online platform used for creating graphic organizers. It can be used collaboratively and is used to get the job done fast. They have over 50 different types of organizers to choose from. There are different drawing shortcuts and themes/styles. You can collaborate on organizers anywhere at any time asynchronously. You can also export and share the documents at any time. ]]> 2021-03-07 18:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279157843 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279166385 The first strength is that it is very user friendly. As stated before, there are over 50 different templates, shapes, and themes/styles to choose from. You simply choose what you want. You can drop shapes in anywhere and color them or write in them. 

The second strength is that you can collaborate with anyone you share it with. They can then add comments whenever they want. Also, you can start calls (but this is BETA so this might go away at some point). Creatively makes it very easy to get in touch with the people you are working with. 

The last strength is how much comes with the free version. Upon looking at what they had when I clicked on create, they give you a good amount of features for the free version. Of course, there is more when you upgrade, but for the free version it gives you a good amount of features to get started. ]]> 2021-03-07 18:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279166385 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279182348 The first limitation is just the same as any platform. You have to make an account to save the organizers you make. The website will let you have a temporary account to create an organizer, however, if you would like to hold on to it, you have to create an account. The base plan is free and of course you can upgrade if your school allows it. 

The second limitation is when you add a lot of blocks to the organizer, it lags a bit. This is not a major limitation, however, it could get slightly annoying when working on a bigger project. 

The last limitation is that if you use the free version of Creately, the amount of people you can collaborate with total is 5 (including the host.) This is fine for small projects, however if you wanted to do something together as a class, you would need the full version.]]> 2021-03-07 18:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279182348 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279202796 One way I can use this in my future theatre classroom is for my advanced class. They can use this platform to help them storyboard for when they get to the playwrighting unit. They can use this to organize their ideas for when they begin the writing process.

Another way I can use this is by creating a KWL chart for scripts that we read and analyze in class. We can start to fill it out together (I would have to type everything out) at the beginning of the play and then come back and complete the chart at the end of the script with what we learned. ]]> 2021-03-07 19:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279202796 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279209993 2021-03-07 19:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279209993 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279211019 2021-03-07 19:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279211019 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279212673 2021-03-07 19:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279212673 koenigd2 https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279215877 2021-03-07 19:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/koenigd2/s6fogvh4xp149nk8/wish/1279215877
