Module 4a Assignment— Collaborative tool Padlet, began in 2008 with a different name "Wallwisher". The idea was to "be a simple place to put stuff on the web." It developed over the years to much more than that, and today offers a space for multiple people to place their ideas and thoughts in one place, including the ability to add images, audio files, upload items, add web links, draw, and much more! The website is www.padlet.com Discussion: • To start a new response on the padlet, click the pink circle with the plus (+) in the bottom right-hand corner. You will then see a box pop up where you should be able to enter your name and start typing. • You should be able to do this right in Canvas. If it does not work, here is the link to the padlet: https://padlet.com/krandall13/linc90C21 • When you are finished with your response, click anywhere on the padlet except for your box and it will add your reply to the padlet wall. Feel free to try some of the other options as well. Discussion Prompt: If you were to design your own collaboration tool, what would it do? What features would it have? What would people use it for? Reminder: Please respond to this on the padlet wall below. ********************************************************* Doing this Assignment "Module 4a" in HTML 1) What is Padlet? Padlet is a software to use making and sharing content with others. Somewhere between a doc and a full-fledged website builder, Padlet empowers everyone to make the content they want, whether it's a quick bulletin board, a blog, or a portfolio. This collaborative virtual wall was created in 2013 by Nitesh Goel and Pranav Piyush. Padlet's logo looks like an origami paper-folded crane with head at right, tail at left. Body's center resemble a church steeple or a bishop's mitre. In Japanese culture, it is believed that the crane's wings carry souls up to paradise. So there is a spiritual element in Padlet. 2) Sign Up for Padlet Padlet offers free signup with Apple, Google, Microsoft, or Email. I chose Email: pyc8@yahoo.com with 14-letternumber password Checked in box "I'm beautiful" and clicked the "Sign Up" button. Clicking Make a Padlet, gave 8 choices— Wall, Canvas, Stream, Grid, Shelf, Backchannel, Map, Timeline. Can't see pink circle with the plus (+) in the bottom right hand corner. Did screenshot showing all 8 Padlets, and selected Wall Padlet & Map Padlet, combined in Photoshop for the image at left. Kim said we should be able to do this right in My Portal/Canvas. If it does not work, here is the link to the padlet: https://padlet.com/krandall13/linc90C21. Kim asked: "If you were to design your own collaboration tool, what would it do? What features would it have? What would people use it for?" 3) LINC-90C Students Responses on Creating Collaborative Tool My response to Kim's query: Having taught kids in the K-12 program of CPITS to write poetry, I would create a collaborative tool to engage & inspire them to brainstorm together, sharing ideas, photos, videos, to make their work livelier. Canva templates can help them with designs, Pinterest photos have images to illustrate their poems, YouTube videos and Google Earth can take them travelling afar. I have used "Geometry Playground" for students to choose "Circle, Square, Cross, Triangle, Spiral" in writing their poems. My "Geometrical Figures Compilation" with dozens of examples will stir students to action. If they are interesting in travel, "Literature Trips to Points of Inspiration" will offer another avenue for exploration. 4) My Response to Kim's Query Pasted in Wall of Padlet My response to Kim's query was pasted into the Wall of Padlet along with responses from six other classmates of LINC-90C. However, none of the web links showed up in Padlet. Typed the URL of my web page— http://www.wisdomportal.com/ LINC-90C/LINC90C-Module4a.html, so they may be viewed. | Top | Module 4b | Module 3a | Module 3b | Module 2b | Module 2a | Module 1 | Orientation | | Haikus 2021 | Poems 2021 | Nature Walks | Interesting News | Books | A-Z Portals | Home | © Peter Y.
