How I have used Padlet in my Classroom


Padlet is a virtual whiteboard website where students can each post their own sticky notes to collaborate.  In this video, I share a few of the ways that I have customized Padlets to activate prior knowledge, share learning, or use a RAN chart throughout a unit of study.

Chrome and Chrome Extensions

Prior to this activity, I had some basic exposure to Youtube extensions at NETA in 2015, but had only used screencastify a handful of times.

This project gave me the little push to seek out a few extensions at a time in order to increase my daily productivity.
