Padlet.com - Anonymous Input, Teachable Moments

Submitted by Mrs. Green:

PADLET.com
Have you ever used padlet.com? It is an awesome way to get anonymous feedback. It's a wall where anyone with the link can post to it. In my class, we are using it to share sentences we write with our spelling words.  Each week they write a sentence that uses a certain pattern and a context clue with an ACT word.  Then, I assign students to share at least one sentence. I pull Padlet.com up on the Promethean board and we go over the sentences. In the past, I used to exhaust class time having the students come and write on the board, so this is a major time saver! I copy the link to the classroom Twitter page, and they are able to use their phone and go to Twitter and access the Padlet wall.  They loved being able to use twitter to get to the link and do that right from their phones. The best part is that I have a "collection" of these walls because they are permanent, so I can pull them up weeks later if I need to, and I can also edit and check to make sure everything is "school appropriate" before I project it for everyone to see!
