"One of the strategies that I use when creating lesson plans is to reflect on the previous lesson. Part of that reflection includes feedback from students. This can be done by simply asking students to raise their hands in response to a "did you get it?" type of question, but I like to have better record of responses than just a hand count. Here are some tools that can be used for collecting exit information from students."

"Today, during the Practical Ed Tech Summer Camp I discovered a new layout option in Padlet. In addition to the free form and stream layouts there is now a grid layout option. Selecting the grid option in the "modify wall" menu will snap your free form notes into a grid."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Padlet has recently added a new layout option and Richard Byrne provides a step-by-step guide on how to use Padet as well as "ideas and directions for using Socrative and TodaysMeet." Padlet has been available for quite a few years (and was first known as Wallwisher) and works on a variety of platforms. It may be used collaboratively and Byrne suggests using it as an exit ticket. Socrative is a student response system and TodaysMeet is a backchannel chat room.

Web-based tools continue to proliferate, giving teachers more to add to their arsenal, but it can be hard to determine which resources are worth spending time exploring.
Beth Dichter's insight:
This post presents 13 free web tools selected by "Adam Bellow, founder of EduClipper, and Steve Dembo, Online Community Manager for Discovery Education." Each has a brief explantion and provides suggestions on how to use in the classroom. Below is a list of four of the tools. * Ipiccy * The Noun Project * BigHugeLabs * Padlet For more information on these tools plus 9 more click through to the post.

First of all, basic information about web tools. |

"Like it or not, today's students are not just citizens. They are "digital" citizens. This means that educators need to spend time with students on ensuring they know how to be responsible online."
Beth Dichter's insight:
In this post Lisa Neilson shares a great activity to help students learn more about digital citizenship. There are five steps, which begin with the students thinking about their online reputation and coming up with a sentence that describes it in 140 characters or less. * Students them would then go to Animoto and create a 30 second video using images that help illustrate their sentence (Steps 2 and 3 in the post). * Videos would then be uploaded to Padlet. *Have a movie screening so the students can see others work. There is much more information in the post and I would urge you to check out the link to the New York City Department of Education Social - Media page for additional resources.

So true that all educators need to do this thanks for sharing @GwenythJones

Fun interactive format, and the tools are good ones to explore.

"Padlet has morphed into a full blown online interactive whiteboard, collaboration, presentation, lesson management system with massive possibilities for teaching and learning. Before demonstrating how I have used Padlet in the classroom in ways I couldn’t have in the past, I’ll give you a quick(ish) tutorial in how it works."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Why choose to use Padlet? Aside from the fact that is free, it does not require that register. Gleeson recommends that as a teacher you create an account so that all the "walls" you create are in one place. This post provides detailed instructions on how to create a wall and includes two projects that he has done with his students. If you have not checked out Padlet I suspect you will after you read this post!

I like this tool. Very useful and it works with iPhones in the classroom!

I'm using Padlet in a variety of ways, including gathering teacher and student ideas and for feedback about any shifts in practise related to the work I do as a Facilitator of Professional Learning for teachers. |
Richard Byrne shares five tools that he uses with students. They are:
* Google Forms
* Padlet
* Socrative
* Poll Everywhere
* Plickers - For the classroom that isn't 1:1
Each tool is discussed and if you search for the tool on his website you will find information about how to use it.
You may find that your students will be more engaged with exit slips if they use technology to respond. In addition, some of these tools provide unique ways to see the response, such as Poll Everywhere which will display feedback as word clouds.
