When we are in class and each student has an individual whiteboard so we can ask a question and get a quick formative check on if they are understanding is now digital. These whiteboards do NOT live outside of your live session.
This site is FREE. It seems that the developer made this as a hobby so it’s not feature rich which may be the best part. It’s a simple quick way to have students visually share their thinking while in a live session. Period.
There is no download option so take a screenshot if you need to keep it. There are no teacher logins or student logins. This makes it wicked fast to create and join a class. You’re not giving up your data either. On the downside, no saving.
Padlet is a technology that has been around for a long, long while — but it has really started to pick up educational users during our recent efforts to teach remotely. Here’s why: Padlet allows teachers to create simple pages on the web that students can post content to in a variety of ways.
Students can record video or audio responses on a Padlet. They can also embed pictures or search for Gifs to add to a Padlet. Finally, students can link to documents, record their desktop or write text responses on a Padlet.
Think about how important that versatility is.
Have students who struggle with written responses to your questions? Use Padlet and let them record audio responses. Want students to create videos as evidence of mastery of performance tasks? Use Padlet to host all of those demonstrations of mastery in one place at one time. Want to model effective writing for your students? Use Padlet to record your desktop while you demonstrate your expectations. - Bill Ferriter
