Name of the tool Padlet
Where to access this www.padlet.com
tool (web address)
Brief instructions of Padlet is an interactive online virtual “bulletin” board that students can post their ideas and
how to use the tool work with one another. You can keep it private or share it with others. It is very easy and
convenient to use. Padlet can be used for brainstorming ideas, collaborating with groups,
and even planning events. You can also upload files such as videos, audio and images. You
can even create your own padlet and/or choose to join a padlet with teachers and other
students. It is a universal learning tool for teachers and students.
Ideas for how the tool Elementary:
can be used in PK-12 It can be used to learn certain subjects such as language. For example, the teacher can
create a padlet on what the students liked and disliked about a current book they read over
the weekend. Students can post their opinion and read others’ as well.
Middle School:
Teachers can create a padlet on learning geography. For example, the teacher can create a
padlet on sharing a place they find interesting anywhere in the United States. Students can
research a place they want to visit and share it with others.
High School:
Padlet can be used as a study guide for high school students to help them for an upcoming
exam. The teacher can create a padlet used as a review for students to prepare themselves
on the material of what will be on the exam. The teacher can add presentations, important
notes, review games, and leave room for any comments and questions they have.

how to use the tool methods for classes. This classroom app puts emphasis on interactive activities
and student engagement. Socrative allows teachers to create their own
assignments that are collaborative and fun for the students. Socrative allows
teachers to be flexible with their methods of instruction.
Ideas for how the tool Elementary School

can be used in PK-12 Socrative can be an effective way for elementary students to engage with each
other online through their school work. Socrative is an easy app to navigate which
would be a good gateway for younger students to learn how to work with online

programs. Socrative also allows teachers to make fun interactive games and
quizzes to keep elementary student engagement.
Middle/High School
Socrative gives teachers the tool to create different online rooms that can be
tailored to fit each of their different classes and subjects. It also allows teachers to
create their own quizzes and assessments to test their knowledge. Socrative gives
students a good way to evaluate their knowledge with instant feedback. Socrative
also gives students the option to break up into online smaller groups to study or

Name of the tool Explain Everything
Where to access this explaineverything.com
tool (web address)
Brief instructions of This web tool is a big whiteboard with many different gadgets. With this tool teachers and
how to use the tool students can voice record, and insert that recording anywhere on this whiteboard. Explain
Everything is great for mathematics it has a math keyboard with “x”, division sign, square
roots etc. It just makes writing math easier. It's also amazing for working together, and
brainstorming because you can also upload pictures, and write random texts, drag and drop
anything anywhere.
Ideas for how the tool Grade 3- Students will be able to make change from $5.00 or less. With this web 2.0 tool I
can be used in PK-12 will have every student pair up randomly and put the amount of change I want every pair to
show. Later they will show me another way to get the same answer. For example, let's say I
want group 3 to show me how to get $3.29 cents. Together they come up with 13 quarters,
and 4 pennies. Next they show me how to get the same answer another way so they come
up with 8 quarters, 12 dimes, and 4 pennies.
Grade 5- First I will record a voice over explaining how to solve single (x+3=15) and multi
step problems. After walking through these problems in depth, I will put them in small
groups of about 3 or 4 students each. In these small groups they will put their brains
together and come up with a single and multistep problem on the online whiteboard, both
figured out. They will be able to use the math keyboard with this assignment as well.
Grade 7- Students will build a venn diagram of quadrilaterals (trapezoids, parallelograms,

squares, etc). Comparing and contrasting each and explaining why each quadrilateral is in
each circle. Students will be able to upload pictures, audio, thoughts etc. However they will
not be able to use the web. I would want them to use their heads and notes only and be
creative with their classmates.
Assignment
Positives and Positives
challenges of using - I love how easy this app is to get used to, it’s not complex at all, the others I
the tool looked at were a bit more difficult. It won't be hard for the students to get in and
get started.
- With recordings, students can rewind, pause, replay whenever they need to if i or
another student uploads a video/ recording. Easy to edit these recordings as well.
- The math keyboard is really helpful, especially being that I only put math
examples up (above). Makes it easier to type up what you're doing for others to
see. It can sometimes be hard to show what you're doing without the proper keys
such as adding equations, using square roots, absolute value, etc.
- Easy to share each project and or make it private.
Challenges
- There's no place for students to leave/ take notes.
- It doesn’t say who wrote what on the board.
- Takes a while to get the whiteboard started and running smoothly.
