Padlet is another good place to allow your students to collaborate. It is a bulletin board type site that allows students to post images or text. This is good for renewing connections. Again, the topic can be academic, or it can be.... baby animal pictures, or appropriate memes to make us all smile.
Try it out here: A padlet just for us to see how it works. You gotta post something, though, or there won't be anything to see. A comment, a picture, a meme--- go for it! Need a topic? Your favorite quote--- or current events meme!
Go to padlet.com and sign in with the Google button (use your @hueneme.org account). Teachers can get several padlet boards for free. Look for the settings icon in the top right corner of your new padlet. There are all kinds of options to check out. Then go to "share" and get a link that can be shared with students.
