Special Guest, Lisa Dallas discusses Padlet
1. Book Reviews/Interactive Story Telling: highlight favorite quotes, ask questions, discuss characters – AND/OR a story and ask students where it should go next. Students can type their ideas into the Padlet. Take student ideas and continue story
2. Topic Summary: Useful for any subject from math to earth science, Padlet can help teachers summarize a large amount of information and present it in a visually pleasing way. Educators can put in text, photos, graphs and other learning tools and share the image with students before a big test or discussion. -
3. "Thank You" Wall: Have you had a speaker come in recently to share his/her knowledge on a particular subject. sending a group "thank you" note. Each student can post an individual message
4. Questions Board: Students can access a "questions" board 24/7 and anonymously post questions.
5. Opinion/Forum: Educators can post a particular topic or issue, and students can post their opinions on the subject. This is a great building block for teaching students how to write opinion pieces or persuasive essays. -
6. Bell ringer activity — Ask students what they remember from the previous day’s lesson. The ensuing page should summarize what still needs to be taught and should serve as a good place for students to review content.
7. Collaborative notetaking/ Notes to peer presentations / staff meetings — While listening to a presentation/meeting, students/colleagues can work together to add notes to a Padlet to produce a resource they can refer to later.
8. Event planning — If you’re planning a class party or a field trip, all of the information can go on a Padlet, including photos of the destination, a list of who’s bringing what, links to pertinent websites and more.
9. Living webquest — Webquests have been static webpages that included links to sites and questions. They often didn’t change. Students can create a living webquest where new links are added continually. You can create questions at the end of the activity to the links available at that time.
10. Exit ticket/ Student Reflections on Learning/ Check In to Check Out — What did you learn today? What didn’t make sense? What questions do you still have? Students can answer those questions and refer to it later.
11. Class Communication/Document hub — Upload important class files to a Padlet so students can go there to download them any time.
12. Let Students Showcase Their Work – digital portfolios, creating slideshows, or producing videos to display all of your students’ best work on one page
13. Thinking Maps/Flow Maps
14. K - W – L Chart on a topic: What student Knows/ What they Want to Know / What they Learned Students post notes under each section
15. Digital Posters - Assign students a topic and have them create quick digital posters as summaries for review OR as a presentation. Then, share the links with the whole class for a pain-free, classroom-wide study guide!
16. Build a matching exercise - have students rearrange the photos and text to solve.
17. Group research: students search online for other examples of the topic they are researching
18. Video & Topic link-show video posted on Padlet and allow student to comment and expand the topic
19. Parent Forum – Classroom link
20. Walking Field Trip - through the building/museum with their devices. Students were to use their device to take pictures of various elements of art that they had been learning about - texture, space, line, etc.
