DO YOU KNOW PADLET?

There is a site called Padlet which is amazing for learners. It mixes two elements of learning: Visual aids and investigation. 

Our teacher assigned us to open a padlet page and choose a topic. We had many choices, and we, as a group selected the topic of Poverty. 

It was clearly explained what would we do. Firstly, we had to create a What We Know column in which we would list how much we are knowledgeable about Poverty. Secondly, we created Want to Know, as it is understood, we listed which topic we are curious about. Finally, we made an investigation and formed the What We Learned page, and listed all we learned about poverty.

It was a cheerful experience because it led us to read and make an investigation. Also, it is beneficial for group working. That's why I liked it.

I will use Padlet in my teaching life. As I said, it was an experience useful for both individual and group creation. 

As it is known, in the 21st century, learning and teaching improved a lot with virtualization. While students used to work in groups in the classroom, they now work on online platforms. In this regard, Padlet site is an amazing site. It allows to work individually and in groups, and students can follow each other's movements simultaneously. Padlet is one of the leading websites in 21st century education in this respect.

We created a padlet with three members. Baran Tuaç, Tuvana Kutar and me. Here is the link
