Checking For Understanding, Part 2--Padlet (DCMS 10.6.15)

"...students who don't quiz themselves (and most do not) tend to overestimate how well they have mastered class material" --From Make It Stick (Brown, Roediger III, and McDaniel)

1. Take Attendance!

I'm not loving how the attendance Google Sheet is working as a link here, so let's also look at the STARRED drive!

 

2. Checking for Understanding--Padlet (bring iPad or laptop)

Explorers--Piktochart (bring laptops)
Voyagers--Socrative Quick Question (bring iPads)
All Stars--EdPuzzle (bring laptops)

 Our Objective today is to learn or review Padlet and consider it as an option in our collection of Check For Understanding (CFU) tools to use with our students. Padlet is a web-based tool that has been around for a while, but they recently released the Padlet app, which puts Padlet at teachers' fingertips. Many of us have Padlet accounts and have used Padlet with our students, but we often forget what a powerful tool it can be for collecting student responses.

Last Tech Tuesday, we talked about the importance of checking for understanding in our classes and looked at Socrative Quick Question as an at-our-fingertips tool for this purpose. Our challenge was to purposefully incorporate a Check For Understanding (CFU) to bring back to Tech Tuesday to share, so...LET'S SHARE!

Use this link to post a recent CFU you've used in the classroom on our PADLET WALL!

3. Get the App (iPad) or go to Padlet.com (laptop)

4. Create (or remember) Your Account

5. Let's Look at Padlet 

 

  6. How Can You Use Padlet In Your Classroom? 

Our challenge today is to create and use a CFU Padlet wall before our 10/20 Tech Tuesday! What will this look like in your classroom? We can't wait to see!
