Virtual Board with Sticky Notes

Did You Know???

The same tool Leela is using on our staff website can also be used in the classroom with your students? Padlet (www.padlet.com) is a virtual board with sticky notes that can be easily moved, shared, and embedded. There are several views, including something that looks more like a scrollable blog, and it’s easy to personalize the experience and organize notes. The privacy and moderation settings make it easy for students to become members of a board where a teacher can post resources and encourage them to do the same. It’s a great way to quickly share resources with your kids and moderate what they post.  It's also a useful tool for activating prior knowledge, checking for understanding, and providing collaborative opportunities for students.

Check out this link to see a few examples of how a teacher is using Padlet in her elementary classroom:
