Tool of choice 💻

 

My digital tool focus is Padlet 
When we were sent home due to COVID-19, I was ahead because I had 2 classes on GoogleClassroom. Instead of Zoom I was comfortable with G-Meet. I also liked engaging the students into forming GoogleSlides to present responses to thematic questions. 
However, now my tools for students became passe in relation to what is going on in the world.  I love to review using Kahoot. I keep my account current to be able to use its volume of images and fill-in the blanks.

My great focus is on organizing so that students get to see their to-do list conveniently. GoogleClassroom is good for students who do navigate to a separate tab. Google Keeps actually requires that they log into it for live-lists because I can't share it with more than a handful of students. So, when I had to participate by posting on a Padlet during a teachers PD, I was excited. Then a professor organized all course work using a Padlet, every week it was updated. I was Lit! So, I downloaded the program to use as an organizer with one class. I loved that it's just one page and all the classwork & assignments can be seen. Students can easily upload links and open links to the curriculum program. They can also comment on each others' presentations or artifacts immediately. It helps the students to also maintain appropriate voice & tone, considering their educational audience.

 I will continue using GoogleClassroom. Kahoot is still an inexpensive way to review in a fun way that's not messy. But, Padlet can combine almost all the documents and programs together. I see how it does maintain students' attentions because they are curious about what else they can get from it, as am I.
