More technology in the Classroom

This Week with Sara Fitts is reviewing more technology that can be easily utilized in almost all classrooms regardless of subject area.  Last week I discussed PollEverywhere and Remind. Both of these technologies are immediately engaging and connect teaching and learning with good impact.

Padlet (http://www.padlet.com) is truly a wonderful way to engage students of all ages.  Padlet allows students or an entire class to create a bulletin board or visual display that is engaging, fun, and immediately connected to the topic of study.  Students as well as teachers really enjoy using Padlet.

Teaching and learning need to be fun and engaging for both the student and the teacher.  Technology is a fabulous way to easily connect teaching and learning.  With just a little preparation, the daily lesson is transformed into an amazing array of information that is much more palatable to most students (and teachers) than the dreaded lecture.

If you haven't yet tried Padlet, give it a chance to impress.  I think you'll love it.  And I know your students will!
