Blog Entry #6: Padlet Collaborative Tool

I would use Padlet in my classroom to supplement classroom discussions and give them some extra information on certain topics that could perhaps not be covered in the lesson plan. Students could post short answers to questions about the lessons or what they thought of them for some stress free homework. I would also use it to encourage students to talk to each other by having to reply to at least one of their classmates. Collaborative tools like Padlet are a simple and fun way to integrate technology in the classroom and they give children a chance to see exactly what their fellow classmates think, which could open up ideas they wouldn't have thought of themselves and could even stimulate discussions between students who may not otherwise socialize together.
