Technology Tool Review by Kristen Henning https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview Share how you will take any/all of these tools back to use in your classroom en-us 2023-02-20 15:56:22 UTC 2023-02-21 15:26:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489708962 As a kindergarten teacher, I can utilize Nearpod to create matching activities using the Memory Test and Matching Pairs features. Specifically, I am envisioning using these tools to help students learn letters of the alphabet and sight words. The Matching Pairs feature can be used early in the year to help students match the upper- and lower-case letters of the alphabet. The Memory Test feature can be used to help students practice sight words that have been introduced throughout the year. ]]> 2023-02-21 13:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489708962 I love these activities and will use cvc and math lessons with my kinder! https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489711641 2023-02-21 13:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489711641 Try to incorporate into Counseling Lessons https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489715813 2023-02-21 13:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489715813 https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489720572 I enjoyed searching for content related to my upcoming lessons. ]]> 2023-02-21 13:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489720572 I have enjoyed exploring the lessons in nearpod and I think I will be able to use this tool for some of my students. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489727841 2023-02-21 13:45:44 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489727841 I created a Time to Climb for our upcoming weather unit. I think the students will like the friendly competition and it will be a great review of the key information. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489728544 2023-02-21 13:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489728544 I am getting ready to use the virtual geoboards for area and perimeter lessons in the coming weeks. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489729836 2023-02-21 13:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489729836 I searched ideas for teaching feelings and social skills and found lots of already made videos that explain the topic. I liked that I could search by grade level. The students I teach are below grade level and Kim showed me how to remove the grade level from the first slide in-case students would be sensitive to seeing the suggested grade level. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489730042 2023-02-21 13:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489730042 Review the process of writing a TDA by using the drag and drop option. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732178 2023-02-21 13:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732178 There are a lot of uses for Nearpod - I liked looking for different lessons to use in my classroom. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732290 2023-02-21 13:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732290 I would like to post questions for kids to respond to using "shelf" mode of Padlet as a math center. You could even differentiate the questions based which groups do which questions. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732344 2023-02-21 13:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732344 The manipulatives on these apps will be useful during math center activities. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732407 2023-02-21 13:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732407 PicCollage will be a great tool for reviewing key science concepts such as weathering, erosion and deposition. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732461 2023-02-21 13:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732461 https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732576 There are a variety of ways that the Math Learning Apps can be used in my classroom. I liked being able to explore some new ones that I have not already used with my students and am able to anticipate many practical ways that they can be used. I like how the set-up for each app is similar to the others, and it is rather simple for students to navigate around. It is a quick way to practice or review concepts with little preparation needed.]]> 2023-02-21 13:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732576 Math https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732686 I was able to take some of my students' worksheets and create a Nearpod activity. They will then complete the activity instead of doing a worksheet. I also created a matching game using tens and ones.]]> 2023-02-21 13:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732686 Padlet is anther cool way for kids to respond to an open ended questions, complete their math work and submit a picture. dantrom https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732771 2023-02-21 13:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732771 https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732854 Allows for students to respond in different formats (typing, drawing, etc). ]]> 2023-02-21 13:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732854 I like the possibilities with this tool... I would want my students to sign in under Google, so I can see who is responding... We've also discussed the benefits of "approving posts" to better monitor responses... If you do this, I would also suggest changing the post order so the newest posts end up at the top of the screen... it makes management a little easier. There is not an "approve all" button, which could make it easier. - Andy https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732986 2023-02-21 13:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489732986 Love using these as a quick intro. or review to a topic/concept! https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489733856 2023-02-21 13:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489733856 https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489735097 I was able to practice using some of the different features in Nearpod that will allow my 1-2 grade students to match vocabulary words with pictures as a review with the circulatory system. It was great having time to work on a learning activity and having tech help right here when I had a question.]]> 2023-02-21 13:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489735097 Research projects https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489863531 There are a lot of features that students like to focus on, like stickers and backgrounds.  I instruct students to create a PicCollage is 3 steps:
Stuff - facts learned
Fluff - background, stickers, etc.
Pictures]]> 2023-02-21 15:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489863531 I like the virtual field trips to enhance my social studies lessons. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489864701 2023-02-21 15:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489864701 Guided Readers https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489864850 I found some great lessons including guided readers that I can use for my higher level readers.]]> 2023-02-21 15:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489864850 https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489865456 I plan to utilize Nearpod for social emotional learning and engagement with my k-6 students.]]> 2023-02-21 15:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489865456 https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489865712 I am very excited to be able to create problems and share them with the students to use with the math apps on their iPads. ]]> 2023-02-21 15:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489865712 Counseling Groups https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489865769 I would allow kids to use this as a get to know you activity or tell me what they since the last time that I saw them....Could also be used for morning meetings for a fun twist. ]]> 2023-02-21 15:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489865769 Will use with fractions, elapsed time, counting money, graphing... https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489865946 2023-02-21 15:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489865946 The students are very familiar with the tools within these apps, which makes it a quick technology resource to utilize in the classroom. I plan on creating questions and sharing the links so that students can simultaneously solve the problems. https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489866214 2023-02-21 15:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489866214 Math Learning Apps https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489866617 I learned how to create and share templates for students through the Math Learning Apps.

I can adapt/modify them for how I need them to cover my counseling content. All kids can interact as opposed to just having those kids who are more confident to interact raise their hand. ]]> 2023-02-21 15:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489868104 https://padlet.com/henninkr1/techtoolreview/wish/2489868276 While I have used Nearpod in the past, I found lots of great resources in the Nearpod library.
