 Hi, welcome to the fourth episode of Tech Chat. This episode's gonna take a look at a really great, collaborative bulletin board program called Padlet. This is a great way for students to post ideas, post links, to make lists collaboratively all at the same time. We're gonna see how Mr. Hawkins uses this program with his fifth grade students at Thomas M. Ryan Intermediate. So, Padlet is like an online clip, or a bulletin board, where everybody can post notes about maybe what they did, like a sharing system. And it's a great thing to use, because you can do it with partners and it's easy and quick. That's Padlet. We used Padlet in the classroom to share coming back from break. So, they came in with a lot of stories, especially after the extra snow days. And so, to really get down to task and get back into the classroom, we sat down with the iPads and a Padlet board where they could share two or three items that they wanted other students to see. And instead of spending a longer time in a sharing circle with everybody taking one third of time, they could see what other people were sharing while they were sharing. And so, that was a good way to come back into break and then also get back into the mode of the classroom. We've used it in our classroom for science with brainstorming. And so, with our kids, who's asking to look for types of motion and motion words. And so, had a board up where they could share those types of motion. And then also have used it for reviewing team right expectations. We had a board for each one, T, E, A and M. And students worked in pairs on that one. I think they enjoy it. I think they enjoy the instant feedback that they see when, so they put a comment on there and then they are immediately seeing what other people are adding to the conversation.
