Description/Rationale 3: This is just a quick start guide designed for families to understand what a digital wall is. It shows how parents can contribute to a class wall to see the synthesis of the whole group's work in real time. Since the overall objective for Pax is synthesis and theme,it can be hard for parents to see the work in the backpack. Padlet just acts like a window into the classroom, where the parents can see the big picture.
