Based on the video that I have watched, there are two ways I might use Padlet in my own teaching

and learning context.

1. Feedback
After teaching one lesson, I will ask my students to post a “ticket out the door” question in the
Padlet to find what my students had learned that day. I will post a big question, such as my
lesson’s essential question, or a specific question to determine who has met an exact objective.
This is a great time to figure out what students’ perceive to be the important points about their
learning, and it also highlights the misconceptions. It is best to generate a culture in the classroom
that celebrates mistakes so that students see them as the very best way to learn and grow.

2. Sharing Idea
This will provide students with an opportunity to share their work without taking the instructional
time to share one at a time in front of the class. It’s also allow students to take a picture of what
they are working on and post it to a Padlet I’ve set up for them. I will ask other class members view
the posted items, and respond below it by sharing a “Praise” and a “Polish”– one thing they love,
and one thing they would have done differently as a reminder to train students about writing
effective comments, both positive and constructive, and to teach students how to use those
comments once they are received. This will be done continuously throughout the year.

Describe the way you might use EDPuzzle in your own teaching and learning
context.
I plan to use Edpuzzle as a tool to check my student’s progress of their previous
lesson and what I want them to know in my next lesson. To begin, I will think about
my next lesson. Is there anything I would like my students to know in advance? Or
maybe a concept I explained in a previous lesson? Next, i will search on Edpuzzle or
YouTube. Once I have a sense of what topic I want to cover, I will search for it on
Edpuzzle. My next step is to edit the video with Edpuzzle. I will trim and take only the
part that I need, record my voice to make it more personal or embed questions to
hold my students accountable for the video. Then, I will create a class where I can
assign videos and any student in that class will receive them. Eventually, when a
student completes a task, I will receive really useful information from each one of
them. I can always check each student progress on that task. Who watched the
video, who didn't understand the lesson, and who did a good job. This will be a good
tool to be use as one of my formative assessment.
I would like to describe two ways using Blendspace in my future teaching and learning
context.

 Class Jukebox

Students need a bit of music to stay motivated. Firstly, I will tell them that I want to create a
Blendspace jukebox with some song that familiar to them. I choose the song that they like so
that they would be interested to learn. Next, I’ll upload it up and play it at a low volume,
meaning students can listen to some of their favourite songs while they complete their
homework. I think song can be a tool to motivate students, and as a way to rouse a class who
may be getting burned out towards the end of the day.

 The Power of Video

Firstly, I will identify some videos connected to my topic that will cause students to rethink
any assumptions they may have had about the topic. These videos act like “stingray”
questions. That is to say, they pack a jolt that shocks students into thinking critically and that
energizes student learning. Then, I will place these videos at strategic points in my
Blendspace, so students see them at the precise moments when they need a little extra
motivation to stay engaged.
