[CASL-L] Padlet

[Allison Loiseau]

Hi Laurie,
I am not sure this constitutes "creative," but I used Padlet often as a way
for my students to respond to read-alouds.  I followed the Book-Head-Heart
approach from the book *Disrupting Thinking* by Beers and Probst.  I make
three Padlet columns entitled Book, Head and Heart and students type in
their responses.  For "Book", they can name a character, identify setting,
or summarize plot.  For "Head," they generally answer "What surprised you
in this book?" or "what did I notice?"  (I love seeing what they notice in
illustrations. So perceptive.)  For "Heart," students share how the book
made them feel, but they can also share what lesson they learned or how the
book will help them to be better.  I did this with second graders on
chromebooks.  It could be scaled up for older elementary.  I also
personally like Padlet or organizing thoughts and images from conferences.
Kids might be able to use it as a graphic organizer for research projects
by creating columns. I hope this is helpful.  If you haven't read *Disrupting
Thinking*, here's a link to more information on it.  I found it very useful.
Stay well!
