My sumptuous wall by Giovanni Bruscantini https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv Made with the help of a typing monkey en-us 2018-02-06 02:31:35 UTC 2025-04-29 19:18:30 UTC hello@padlet.com Six Word Story https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/229174382 Take control of your own life]]> 2018-02-07 16:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/229174382 https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/229189079 2018-02-07 16:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/229189079 Comments on Six Word Story lpincham https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/229796516 Your image is quite provocative.  A perfect image for your six words!

"Grows":
1.  Remember end marks (a simple correction).
2.  What exactly is the bell ringer?  It is not clear to the reader.
3.  What is the Closure activity?  Again, this is was not clear to the reader.
4. Later, when we discuss assessments, you will see a rubric as a perfect fit for the assessment in this lesson.]]> 2018-02-24 22:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/235031403 Comments and Score on Classroom Management Plan lpincham https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/235032457 2018-02-24 22:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/235032457 Task 1: Mentimeter gbruscantini https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241048149 I enjoyed Mentimeter. In a era where poll generators are plentiful, it is hard to imagine a simpler design than Mentimeter's. It is very user-friendly while flaunting a variety of tools to customize your poll. The polls are easy to create and easy to access. It did not leave much to be desired.]]> 2018-03-12 18:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241048149 Task 2: Poll Everywhere gbruscantini https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241054617 Having just created a Mentimeter, I found Poll Everywhere to be inferior in just about every way. The user interface seemed cluttered and intimidating. After I perused the options briefly, PE did not seem to offer much more than Mentimeter did--its presentation is just more complicated. Accessing the poll also requires a long URL or having to use the text function on one's phone. I see no reason to use this over Mentimeter.]]> 2018-03-12 18:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241054617 Task 3: AnswerGarden gbruscantini https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241060147 I enjoyed the simplicity of AnswerGarden. There was no need to create a username and the format was pretty free-form. I find this to be a virtual version of posing something to the class and picking on those who raise their hand. I suppose this would be more appealing to shy students (I myself would enjoying the attention of answering in front of the class). I would usually rather do without this, I think. Having students pull up AG would just lead to them getting distracted by their phone or computer.]]> 2018-03-12 18:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241060147 Task 4: GoogleDoc (Teenager Smartphone Use) gbruscantini https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241068616 2018-03-12 18:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241068616 Task 5: FlipGrid gbruscantini https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241074213 I enjoyed FlipGrid. As a tool, I would use this for expanded discussions--anything past simple poll questions. I would probably assign homework that would incorporate FlipGrid. I like that students can choose to post videos or type a response. This provides opportunities for introverted and extroverted students alike. The interface is simple and uncluttered.]]> 2018-03-12 19:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241074213 Task 6: QR Codes gbruscantini https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241438997 QR codes could be interesting in the classroom. The first thing that comes to my mind is the use of QR codes to conceal the links they lead to. It could be a simple way to get everyone on the same page. As far as I know, however, this would require the students to pull out their phones. I am skeptical of this.]]> 2018-03-13 15:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241438997 Task 7: Quizizz gbruscantini https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241506494 https://quizizz.com/admin/quiz/5aa7f03af0445e001a48530c
Quizizz was generally simple, fun, and user-friendly. As a contestant, I do not see much difference between Quizizz and Kahoot.it. Perhaps they are different from the creator's perspective. I did not have much trouble or confusion when creating my quiz. Overall, it's great. Could be used as a bellringer.]]> 2018-03-13 17:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241506494 Task 8/9: Two Additional Sites for Teachers gbruscantini https://padlet.com/gbruscantini/wianm3q7ydnv/wish/241509859 1.       Website I investigated:  http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/

I consider this site highly useful, moderately useful, of no use. (Highlight one.)

Specifically for teachers of (grade level and/or subject field): History/Social Studies

Describe features of interest and usefulness to teachers: This website provides a user-friendly database of primary documents, videos, music, etc, all related to U.S. History. This will certainly be a go-to when preparing lesson plans.

2.       Website I investigated:  http://www.loc.gov/teachers/

I consider this site highly useful, moderately useful, of no use. (Highlight one.)

Specifically for teachers of (grade level and/or subject field): History/Social Studies

Describe features of interest and usefulness to teachers: The most notable feature of this multimedia database is the ability to search through content based on their meeting common core, state, or organizational standards

Your provided such an honest critique and evaluation for each tool.  I liked the comparison of Polleverywhere to Mentimeter, and I have to agree with you.  I understand your hesitation of cell phone use with the QR codes.  You could always set strict guidelines (One cell phone per group; or if you are lucky, students may use their assigned Chrome Books.).  The digitalhistory site is truly awesome!  Look at the resources this one site can provide!!

Well done!
