This week in our Instructional Technology and Material Design course, our task was to create a padlet project about one of the following: a global/local problem or freedom. With seven of my friends, we choose one of the most important problems: Endangered Species.
After choosing our topic our group friend Gamze created a padlet page and we begin to sign up and start contributing to the page. Opening a padlet account and creating posts on our page was very easy for me.
When deciding what to post on our padlet page, I did a quick Google
search on endangered species and found so many videos, blogs and orgnizations about this
global problem. One of the biggest blogs on nature and animals, National
Geographic was my first stop. I was able to find insightful information and
pictures about our topic in just a few minutes of research.
During this task, padlet was the main tool we used to share our findings.
I find padlet to be a helpful tool to get students contribute in a project.
Students get to search online to find useful information and choose which
sources are reliable and can be used. Therefore it develops their ability to
make judgments about what they find on the internet. It also helps student to
explore a new platform where they can share anything on any topic. These are
just some skills that a learner in the 21st century must have and
padlet can help students to achieve.
