Padlet- Online Virtual Bulletin Board,

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.

Zoom In Thinking Routine

Zoom In is a thinking routine.   As each section is revealed, students make new inferences. Students come to the realization that thinking is a process and minds can be changed based on new understandings.  How to use the strategy: 1. P ut an image or several ones and ask the students to look  closely and tell you what do they see, what do you think this is, and why do you think so? 2. Reveal more of the image and ask your students what are the new things that you see, have you changed your previous idea?    3. Repeat steps two & three until the whole image has been revealed.   I created this Zoom In activity for grade 6 students as a recall of what they've learned about Microsoft Excel last year. Students were so engaged and loved it, they kept on guessing and they were so happy when they guessed it right. I really think that using this thinking routine would make your session more interesting and engaging. Feel free to edit it according t...
