This was my first time using padlet, Padlet is a website that allows student to look at different resources but also make their own. like in this example we were able to incorporate videos, pictures, and articles. This is a great activity to do in the classroom because it fun and engaging for students especially if they have never used it before. they can also do it with a group or by themselves. This resource is definitely effective to use in a classroom. you could use this website for anything that has multiple topics.
this was my first time Coogle; I think this website was very easy to use. Coogle allows students to make to a mind map diagram. Coogle is very effective for students who are reviewing for test or need to make a diagram on how things match up to one certain thing. something that I would have my students use Coogle for in my classroom is when they are reviewing for a test in my classroom and if its Elementary students I would have them use it to see why things match up to one certain thing.
Primary sources are raw material from the same time period of when something happens. when doing primary sources, using Soapstone or the 5Ws (who, What, When, Where and Why). This is effective because it allows students to really go in-depth when they are looking at different primary sources are reading a story. In my class I would have my students use primary sources when they are researching something from a certain time period and they would have to find primary sources and then talk about why its a primary source.
BDA is before, during, and after reading. the before, activity helps students think about what the book is going to be about. during, the book let's students think about what as happen so far in the book. after, let's students think about what the book was about and their thoughts about it. these are different activities to do for BDA and to really focus on certain things. this is a very effective strategy because it has students really thinking about the book and going more in-depth with their thinking. I would this in my class anytime I read out loud to my students and get them used to doing the BDA strategies when they read by themselves.
Edpuzzle is a website that allows teacher or students to watch or make their own videos with questions to answer. teachers can make their own videos with them on the screen, or voice overs. they can also put questions within the video for students to answer. then the teacher can go back and see who answered the question correctly. I would use this within my classroom if I was gone to see who actually did work when I was gone.
