• Digital Introductions: Padlet
  This tool can be useful in many ways but we'll use it to create introductions including a visual metaphor. First before doing anything, let your instructor show you Padlet through the "back door" as an owner of the board....
  Next, go to your class section and double click anywhere on the "wall" to create your own sticky to post on the Padlet wall. NOTE: All links will be open so you can see all Padlet walls if you wish. This is shared and not private, so choose accordingly.
  
  Please note that this is public to the class but not to the world unless they have the link. It does not show up on any Google searches.
  • You will add your name (First and Last) at the very top of the post
  • Next, type in three things you like,
  • Three things you love,
  • Three things you don't like, and then,
  • Three words/phrases that describe you.
    
  • And lastly, using the "search google" icon, click and then find and insert an image that represents you, this is sometimes called a visual metaphor.
    
    Look until you find an image that is a pretty good visual metaphor for you. Mine is a sunflower.....

  Double click on the board to add your "note" of introduction. Notice that you can't see anyone's responses until the "owner" of the Padlet board (Dr. Luke) releases them to you. This is known as a "moderated" board in Padlet. We'll talk about how this might be useful to you as a teacher using Padlet.
  
  Padlet is one of my favorite web 2.0 tools and we'll get lots of practice with it. I encourage you to use it with your students if appropriate! With the free version you get three boards.
  
  
• When you are finished with your post, take a look at your class colleagues' posts to learn more about them.
