Remember Wallwisher? It got a makeover and is now called Padlet. It is a cool web application that is like a virtual bulletin board of sorts. You post discussion questions and students can create a virtual sticky note to join in the discussion. It could also be used for group projects, brainstorming, collaboration, and much more! Check out the homepage and click on WHY PADLET for some quick intro videos. You can also peruse the Gallery for ideas. With the makeover, Padlet now has the ability to download and print.
Sign up and give Padlet a try to earn another star for your cape, and let us know how you are using this versatile and FUN web tool by posting a comment below!
We will be reading some "Texas" fairy tales in class this week and making text to text connections with the original versions. To prepare for the week, students are posting on a Padlet wall on my wikispace about their favorite fairy tale. We will talk about their favorites before reading the "Tex-ified" versions. http://prughcrew.wikispaces.com/Classroom+Links
