A teacher who tries not to be ordinary: LOOK AT MY BOARD!!

Hello Again👋,

I've talked about a lot of applications so far. I wrote about how to make them more useful and effective in language classes. The name of our application is PADLET

As I mentioned before, these applications are not specifically designed for language teaching. Practices that may be useful in language learning through the use of teachers. Applications that may be useful in language learning by teachers' use. In this way, children will learn willingly not forced.

Today I'm going to tell you about the Padlet. Its main purpose is not language learning, of course. You can use this application every area in your lives. It is an application that I strongly recommend especially for the collaboration environment. This time, the producers are not teachers, producers are students.

Briefly, think of your boards in your classes, we can hang whatever we want to that boards, right? Consider the same thing but in a virtual environment. Padlet, which is also a product of web 2, will make language learning fun and creative with the children. The Padlet has all kinds of images, schema types etc., but you can also add something. It is a great application that can be applied in every lesson. Nowadays, almost, every home has internet connection. So why not we use it with the kids. Children can enter the boards you created with the board code, they can make edits, or do it in the classroom at the same time. In my opinion, middle school, high school students are more appropriate, but of course for primary school students can be more useful if used with pictures.

I started by choosing the subject of animals because I usually teach primary school students. I divided the animals according to their habitats. Students can write, add photograph according to animals’ habitats.

For high school students, they can write the characteristics of the countries on the world map. In short, you can do what you want. It is an application I recommend. I am very excited to prepare more boards and use them with my students as soon as possible.

How can we us Padlet?

It is very simple to use, firstly, you should sign up
Then you should create a board, its subject is up to you. 😊
You should share this board’s code with your students, in that way they can add something to boards
