OK, so there's no such thing as a quick update in the blog-osphere!
Let's face it, apps emerge faster than we can search for them, so what's a teacher to do?
It's been a long time between posts so I thought it was time to start sharing again.
Today, it's padlet.com
Have you been looking for that starter activity that gets technology into the equation without dominating it?
Perhaps you want to encourage responses whilst maintaining some anonymity.
Maybe you just want to find out what your students really think.
This might be just the tool for you.
Padlet.com let's you set up a wall, at which your students can throw ideas.
Be careful. The cover of anonymity encourages both the honest and the brutal in terms of responses, but you'll soon train the students to use this tool as a way of finding out what students already know and what they can do.
So give it a go.
Set up your own wall and get cracking.
If you need an idea starter, check back tomorrow, and I'll share my first effort with you.
Don't let your students escape from your classroom until you've made them think. :)
