Passionate EdTech Educator

Padlet is an online virtual bulletin board, where students and teachers can collaborate, reflect, share links and pictures, in a secure location. It's a great educational tool that you can use as a questions board where  students can access a "questions" board 24/7 and anonymously post questions. You can then read off and answer the questions each day. You can also use it when you want to summarize a large amount of information and present it in a visually pleasing way.  There are several ways where you can use Padlet to enrich your classroom experience and make it more interesting for students. Below is the tutorial that I've created in the "Introduction to Educational Technology" course that I took last semester in the Educational Technology masters curriculum.

WordArt is an online word cloud art creator that enables you to create amazing and unique word cloud art with ease. Professional quality results can be achieved in no time at all, even for users with no prior knowledge of graphic design. You can be use it as a means of assessment in your classroom. Below is an example of how one of my grade 6 students demonstrated what she knows about Microsoft Word by the end of the session. My students loved it and they were fascinated by the idea of customizing their word cloud the way they want.
