Comment feature is a pro, can also be a con with expectations and protocols set up]]> 2021-01-19 23:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1103704742 Con: catharine_doucette https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1103706649 cannot transfer over to another course.

]]> 2021-01-20 15:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1106159167 I believe there are lots of pros and cons in each main communication as you already outlined and mention some in this chart but it all depends to the system user or individual experience, and observation which is more adaptable and relevant in the working or class environment. https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1107780718 In my observation the pros in Activity feed is that everyone are encourage to participate. It gives direct instructional information. The cons is that cannot maintain the data or materials. It looks a little bit disorganized. ]]> 2021-01-20 21:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1107780718 con https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1108081399 I agree, allowing for student comment and discussion may push content out.]]> 2021-01-21 00:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1108081399 con https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1108086429 seems like a too "busy" place to do everything from variety of content and info to student discussion]]> 2021-01-21 00:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1108086429 PRO: https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1108235133 -Ability to pin items to the top to put front of mind

As a student I would rather receive a news update to remind me to do something in my content section of my class as opposed to going down a long list of things in my activity feed incase i forgot to do something. I do not feel the activity feed is the best way to have consistent material handed out to students. i would personally only use the activity feed to remind students to do little activities not worth any grades, and I would keep the real content in the content section or discussion forum. ]]> 2021-01-21 03:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffandjencummings/uf1xq668pinjgb3c/wish/1108356066 Commenting feature.

It cannot be re-used from year to year. No HTML editor either.
