This week's assignment on my ELT class was to create a padlet of our own as a group about a topic selected from a list. Padlet is basically an online notice board tool. This digital notice board is able to feature images, links, videos, and documents, all collated on a "wall" that can be made public or private. This means that not only can teachers post on the wall but so too can students.
The best part of it is the extremely easy usage. Since the interactive space is easy to use and easily accessible from nearly any web browser-capable device, it's a great resource for teachers and students.
Our group decided on making a padlet about the COVID-19 in the KWL format which stands for "Knowledge, Wonder, Learn". For those who don't know, KWL checklists are tables that help students organize information before, during, and after a unit or a lesson. It consists of three segments: What I know, what I wonder and what I learned. After finishing our task, we exchanged reviews of the other's padlets with another group.
Padlet is a great tool that can help the future teachers a lot and the KWL charts have a potential to make a certain subject a lot more entertaining and easy to understand. Both are definitely things that an aspiring teacher should keep in mind!
