I had the pleasure of watching my peers present on a tool called Padlet. I found the presentation seamless and I learned a great deal from their presentation. I appreciated that they enabled me to create my own Padlet with a partner. Jesse and I had fun creating a wall that asked students to identify how living organisms are characterized.
I find Padlet a great tool and way to engage students in meaningful discussions. I liked that students do not need an account to access a Padlet and I also enjoyed that Padlet's interface is simple. Padlet is allows for customization and I feel that this feature allows students with an opportunity to be creative if they are making their own board. I find Padlet a great way to share bell work with students and to take notes. I believe using Padlet will also enable students to engage in deep discussions and share observations and thoughts.
I really find that the ability to share walls with others is a wonderful way to get ideas about how other teachers structure their lessons and use the tool. One aspect that was discussed pertained to the unavailability for a previously created Padlet to be modified, this can be a disadvantage if I wish to modify a padlet. I feel in the end I would examine another teacher wall and recreate my own. I noticed that padlet sticky notes have a limit of 150 words this may also be a disadvantage if you want students to write long responses.
I really find this tool to be useful because it is a great way to have students complete bell work and exit tickets. This tool however can only be used in schools where computers are easily accessible and if students have computers at home. I feel if I assigned a Padlet exit ticket for my students I would allow students who do not have access to the internet to send me an email with responses to questions I ask. I really appreciate these presentations on different tech tools because I feel that as education moves towards technology it is important to be aware of how to use technology as an aid in my future teaching career.
