My luminous wall by Joe McCarroll https://padlet.com/mccarrolljoe7/wh72sp9xtxm9 Made with eyes on the prize en-us 2018-04-30 14:17:53 UTC 2018-04-30 16:03:32 UTC hello@padlet.com J. McCarroll, Jr. mccarrolljoe7 https://padlet.com/mccarrolljoe7/wh72sp9xtxm9/wish/256528416 As an administrator, I used the Padlet to facilitate my building and district professional developments, along with working with my students and teachers. I learned very quickly that if I wanted my teachers at my school as engaged as they expected their students to be, it was my responsibility to mix up the way they received information. The question was how I was going to do it. When I discovered Padlet, I realized that it could be a beneficial resource for engaging my teachers during Professional Development (PD). This program provides varied accessibility for my school’s needs. The flexibility makes it perfect for facilitating my faculty and staff discussions and learning, while at the same time providing a way to sneakily teach teachers about a tool they can take back to their classroom and use with students.

Also as an administrator, I knew I wanted to provide my entire team of grade level chairs with documents regarding our current mission, vision, and goals. I especially wanted them to be able to have them at their fingertips for close analysis and critical assessment. A PowerPoint of Google Slides presentation would be great, but would they be able to take the time to look at the artifacts and meaningfully share their thoughts and ideas in real time and in their own words was my question.

I knew that with the capabilities of Padlet, not only would my staff have access to anything shared, but they would be able to post their own comments and other important artifacts that would benefit my entire faculty council. This was a fantastic way to allow them the ability to pose questions, allow time to talk in small groups, and share information for everyone to look at in real time, as their ideas were flowing.
