You are six weeks into the school year. Describe one new tool or strategy you have implemented.
One new tool that I have implemented into the school year is Padlet. I was introduced to Padlet shortly before our first Summer Institute (Thanks Craig).
How and why you are using it? I have been using Padlet for feedback from students and checking for understanding about new curriculum content learned. I use Padlet because it’s quick and easy to use and students enjoy using technology. Padlet is also a great hands -on tool because students can input their own thoughts, knowledge and opinions.
- What impact is it having on you and your students? The impact that Padlet is having on me is I am able to see what each of my students know and don’t know. I am able to go back and reinforce curriculum content for students as needed. I am also able to get a pulse on student’s opinions and thoughts.
The impact Padlet is having on my students is their ability to review daily course content thus making them more prepared for their assessment. Students also now have an avenue to present their thoughts and any misunderstanding or misconceptions they may have too.
