This week I learned about a new tool named Padlet. It
is an online notice board maker which suits for class activities, homework, and
many more. The beauty of Padlet is that its usage is so easy. Special skills and
even registration are unnecessary to create notice boards. Under “Webskills
Summer 2013 – Learner Autonomy Resources”, we collaborated to post articles,
websites, and videos. On the board I shared a website link with a lesson which
shows why it is a good idea for learners to be autonomous and suggests ways
that teachers can help them achieve this.
I haven’t found a partner for peer review
yet and I posted a message in the discussion board of Nicenet for looking for
one. For those who haven’t paired up, let me tell you about me. I teach high
school students and prepare them for a college entrance exam. I teach reading
skills only and I am trying to make my teaching more lively using interactive
powerpoint, Think-Pair-Share, and more. I am not teaching regular classes now
and waiting for 2nd semester starting August 26th. If you have
something in common with me, please be my partner for helping each other.
As for the final plan report, I am planning
to make a template for next semester where I put reading passages of the new
textbook. The goal is to make my boring class more interactive enough to engage
students in learning. I am still working on which tool goes where and how to
apply it. Wish me luck.
