Hi everyone. Thank you so much for joining in. Our session today is on Tech Tools in Education. Introduction to Padlet and Microsoft Teams whiteboard. We did not have a very high registration for today’s workshop, so I’m glad the three of you could make it. And we’ll see how it will not be an entire 90 minute session, because there’s very few of you, and we’ll try to cover things hopefully in the next hour or so.

00:00:29:06 – 00:00:51:14
Unknown
Ideally, if you have your laptops with you or a computer, that will make it, that will make it easier for you to play with. But if you want to be on your phones, it’s a good way to also see if those students who are on their phones. On a user and how it looks like. But if you are designing, I would recommend that if you are on a device or a laptop, that would help.

00:00:51:15 – 00:01:16:15
Unknown
Let me share my screen and give you a brief overview of both the the the apps. Why did we select those in particular and what do they fall under? These apps? Both of them and many other apps like this fall under the collaborative Tech tools department. Which means that it’s a visual collaboration. So you are collaborating with each other in real time.

00:01:17:01 – 00:01:45:10
Unknown
Many times our classrooms especially, especially if they are virtual classrooms. People do not like to turn on their cameras. So this gives us another avenue for us to see how engaged they are, how they are collaborating with each other. That’s the first stage. The second stage is it’s a very inclusive software. So you can you can, depending on your needs, depending on the needs of the students, I will show you some things that you can do to increase inclusivity.

00:01:45:12 – 00:02:14:06
Unknown
So for those students who do not like to, voice out, especially in a virtual environment, they can write their thoughts out or they can draw their thoughts out, they can record some something, doing something and sharing that. So it’s more inclusive. It gives a psychological safety. And it’s a way to introduce active learning in the classroom where students are not just passive listeners, but also contributing, their thoughts, and what they want to, do.

00:02:14:07 – 00:02:36:09
Unknown
It’s a way also to make thinking visible. And I really like this many times in our heads. There are so many thoughts going on both of these apps give us a space, an avenue to make what is it cluttered in our heads on a paper, and students can see that students can appreciate that and the messiness of that as well.

00:02:36:10 – 00:02:57:08
Unknown
So it’s up to us as educators if you want to keep it messy or if you want to organize it, I will show you both the options that we can use. It’s multimodal learning. It’s not just written, it’s not just speaking. There are many different ways to engage different types of learners. Again, depending on your needs, you can select some options and throw some options out.

00:02:57:09 – 00:03:23:11
Unknown
It’s a way to bridge physical and virtual spaces in ways that it can lead to positive engagement, positive community building and all those sorts of things. These things can be saved in time. So it is not just this is a static board. These are very much alive. So you can always come back students, if they have participated in a whiteboard or on a padlet wall at the start of the term, they can keep on coming back to it.

00:03:23:13 – 00:03:44:03
Unknown
Or maybe they come back to it at the end of it and see how they’ve progressed. So it captures their learning, their growth, their reflections over time and even after the class ends, if there’s if you want to keep the board open, you can also do that with some restrictions, which I will show you. So this was some basic introduction to both the apps.

00:03:44:04 – 00:04:07:10
Unknown
The general purpose for both the apps is for brainstorming, for, for sharing some ideas and collaboration. So that is the the higher purpose of of this. And let’s start with Padlet. If everyone’s okay, if there are any questions, please feel free to stop me. So let’s do a Padlet form of activity. I will share a link. And I haven’t told you anything about Padlet yet.

00:04:07:10 – 00:04:31:06
Unknown
I will introduce the app I just want to see. And I will show you step by step how to do that as well. But for now, I want you to introduce yourself on Padlet by posting a meme or an image that represents your personality or teaching style. Add a short caption explaining why you chose it. So I will show you how to do that, and then I will share the link.

00:04:31:07 – 00:04:57:11
Unknown
So hoping my screen would be visible. This is a sample Padlet wall on your screen if I want to comment what I have said about so I if I click on the plus sign at the bottom right, it will pop up the screen. And I said I want a meme. So if I go to plus 14 here, there should be a GIF or a GIF however you want to pronounce it, and I will search.

00:04:57:12 – 00:05:24:06
Unknown
My personality is, I like engaging with students. Let’s say. So it will give me different, different sorts of memes. If I want to select any I can select if I want to write something else, like, okay, so I really like Harry Potter. Let’s, let’s do this, I will add this and then I will add this. Why am I writing this.

00:05:24:06 – 00:05:38:10
Unknown
Right. So here in the subject I can write my name if I want to. And then here I can write whatever I want to write. And then I click on publish.

00:05:38:11 – 00:06:06:04
Unknown
And it should be on the screen. I will share this Padlet with all of you so that you can also have access to it. So if you can go online and select any meme that describes your personality, that describes your teaching style, you can add that and as, as because I am the one sharing, you can see at the top, I can see there are two people or three people writing, two people writing actually.

00:06:06:05 – 00:06:38:06
Unknown
So on the screen you can see how many people are actually writing. So she said that she loves animals. Show you what’s your favorite animal? Honestly, I couldn’t say thank you for sharing that and saying to, that’s Monika from friends, and I am just so Monika and really. Yeah. Except I don’t cook, thankfully. So this was just one quick example, that you can use Padlet for before the class begins on day one.

00:06:38:07 – 00:06:55:11
Unknown
You can share it before they come into the classroom. They have to share a meme or a GIF or whatever to describe themselves or something about you. And this can become my name. And you or I also watch friends or let me connect with the gentle after class. Right? So so we’re building those bonds not only in virtual classes.

00:06:55:11 – 00:07:19:00
Unknown
This can be a very cool physical class activity as well. Before they come into the class, they can have it and you can display it on the screen. You can start to build community. This is just one example, many other examples out there. So how do you actually build a Padlet? And now I will go through, hopefully a demo of everything that you should know to build a Padlet.

00:07:19:00 – 00:07:42:07
Unknown
And please stop me if you think that that I’m going too fast. So when you click, when you, first log on to padlet.com, and let me take you to Padlet so that you can see how it looks like. So this is, this is the screen of Padlet that, that you, you may have when you, when you first opened it, you will have to create an account on that.

00:07:42:09 – 00:07:59:03
Unknown
The account is free. But there’s a catch, which you can see right now on my screen because I, it says you have reached your quota for boards, but you can upgrade to create more. And now I don’t want upgrade, I don’t want to do the paid version. So what do I do? I go to my own Padlet.

00:07:59:03 – 00:08:24:14
Unknown
And for example, I had, these are all the different paddles that we made for different workshops. So this is a workshop for Columbia College. We did with the shared resources external resources, spin them up. Made about this was another way of doing online teaching or and we shared pedagogy discussion forums, assessments, so on and so forth. These are all external websites link to external websites that we have reviewed.

00:08:24:15 – 00:08:48:04
Unknown
And we thought this would be beneficial for, our facilitators. So this was another one which we did. We asked what I asked you guys introduce yourself through I mean I cannot create new board, so what can I do? I can archive a board, which means now this board with all of these boards has been archived. I will show you where the archive site does not mean that it has been deleted.

00:08:48:04 – 00:09:06:11
Unknown
It it is saved, but it is now archive which will now allow me to create a new board so I can now click on make a new board, make a new Padlet. It will give me an option of blank board or a blank sandbox. For now I am not going through sandbox and we will not cover this as part of the session.

00:09:06:12 – 00:09:31:01
Unknown
For now let’s focus on blank boards. Sandbox is basically those boards moved into a game or something. Who Wants to Be a millionaire? You would have seen on one of my boards or something like that. For now, for our purposes, let’s do a blank board that will give you greater flexibility, greater control. This is how the screen pops up on the Padlet wall.

00:09:31:02 – 00:09:50:14
Unknown
The first thing is your title. Your title can be anything. Whatever you are learning in the classroom, I generally like to name it by the topic that we are studying so that it’s easier for for my kids. Let’s choose the format as well. I will go through the rest other formats as well and I will click on that.

00:09:50:15 – 00:10:17:08
Unknown
This is the blank screen now because it’s so colorful, it’s so visual. Has the tendency to attract students to write and then it’s whatever the question is, I can either type the question at the top instead of where the title is, how are you feeling today? If, let’s say that is the question, it will be on the top, and then I can send the link around and I can ask people to respond to it by writing, let’s say.

00:10:17:09 – 00:10:37:00
Unknown
So. One of the ways you can respond in the in the Padlet is through written stuff. I am doing well here. It will say that. Alijah for any posted I am doing that. If this link was shared with you, which I will do it right now, just so that you are also on the same page as I am.

00:10:37:01 – 00:10:56:06
Unknown
So for sharing I will go to share. I will go here. I will copy link to the board and then I will go in my teams and send you the Padlet link. So you can you can also be on the board and you can see what I’m doing. So here it says I am doing well. At least you are frowning when you post something because you do not have an account.

00:10:56:06 – 00:11:13:11
Unknown
It will not show your name. So if I want students to have their name, if that is the idea that I will ask them please in the subject, write your name. So I will write a leader for any again. And here I will write. I am doing well and I will publish. Once I publish, you can see that there is.

00:11:13:12 – 00:11:36:09
Unknown
I’m doing well. Elijah friend is written and then I’m doing well. Sounds good. Everyone’s with me. Easy enough. Yeah. Okay, now let’s get a bit more complicated and look at the functions. Gentle. You. You did the thumbs up because I have allowed reactions. But you can stop reactions. And so which I’ll show you. But because reactions are allowed, people can put reactions.

00:11:36:12 – 00:12:04:11
Unknown
People can add a comment. I am also doing well or whatever you want. So somebody else also then comments on on the same post. So this is how you start the conversation going. So if you had a chapter, if you had to discuss a topic, in small groups, you can you can start with a question here, ask people to comment to respond, and, and react.

00:12:04:12 – 00:12:27:14
Unknown
Now this is one type of post which is written if you click on plus 14, there are all these different ways that you can use Padlet to respond to, to be more inclusive, which I mentioned earlier. So one of the ways is to use your camera so you can use your camera and it will ask me hello this time.

00:12:27:15 – 00:12:53:06
Unknown
And it will now ask it will now record me if I click on this button. So now it is not only written, it is also my visual and my audio being captured. If an assignment is like this. The other way can be audio recorder. If you want to record your audio then you can audio record. You can also do a screen recording, which means that I am doing something on my PowerPoint.

00:12:53:06 – 00:13:07:10
Unknown
I want the entire screen to be recorded. It can do that. It can also do the draw feature and I can draw whatever I want to draw, and it will publish.

00:13:07:12 – 00:13:18:11
Unknown
And then you can also have a poll. When do you want the next class to be?

00:13:18:12 – 00:13:25:09
Unknown
And let’s say I am doing Monday Tuesday.

00:13:25:10 – 00:13:45:01
Unknown
And if you want to ask a poll and in the in the same Padlet you people can respond to the poll as well. So different things that that you can do in this Padlet, one of the very cool features that they’ve recently added, which I really like, is this AI speech. What it does is let me show you.

00:13:45:01 – 00:14:09:10
Unknown
So let’s say we pick Arabic, try simple text. This is a text in Arabic and it will now record this in Arabic. And it will generate an audio by itself like a native Arabic speaker. So how do you go ahead that I mean so can you hear what it’s being said. Yeah okay, cool. I’ll enjoy that in Syria.

00:14:09:10 – 00:14:34:01
Unknown
Thank you daddy. He when he had come I definitely when I was in will is up. So it’s not an English or Western version of Arabic. It’s actually in Arabic. How an Arabic speaker would speak. So a very. So is this. Yes. Sorry, Ali. So is everything that you’ve just said. What was translated here in Arabic? Like where what is this person saying in Arabic?

00:14:34:03 – 00:14:54:08
Unknown
So this is the set I just said try sample text because I did not have an Arabic text. If I was doing it in the classroom, I would have the assignment instructions in English. I would go online, I would convert it into Arabic, put the Arabic here and clicked on next so it would generate what I would want to generate.

00:14:54:09 – 00:15:15:12
Unknown
But right now I do not have an Arabic text. So I said try sample text. Could students do that without me doing it for them? Yes, students can also do this, but but then you want you would you would get the audio, but you won’t be able to understand what the audio is saying. Because it will be in Arabic.

00:15:15:13 – 00:15:37:15
Unknown
Yeah. But if I, if I said something or did something and I didn’t translate it, could they translate it themselves into Arabic? So this I x to speech you need to give them Arabic text so that it converts into Arabic text speech. It doesn’t automatically if I if my instructions were written in English, it does not automatically give the instructions.

00:15:37:15 – 00:15:58:05
Unknown
In all these different languages you will have to provide text, whether it’s you or the students, whoever it is, somebody has to provide the text so that it converts it into audio speech. So this is a very recent addition. So they are still working working on it. But I thought this was a very cool way to make this inclusive.

00:15:58:06 – 00:16:26:00
Unknown
And similarly with AI image this is very we have seen this in many other AI platforms that you you ask them and the AI will generate an image and then the GIF are the GIF we just did. You can have YouTube videos, you can have image search, Spotify, location which you what you saw earlier we had posted we had posted several external links to other websites so it can become a resource for all as well.

00:16:26:02 – 00:16:50:03
Unknown
That or you want to study about this and we have everything in neat, nice nice neat columns which I will show you how to do. But these are the different ways you can input data into Padlet that it will show. So the multimodal aspect of learning comes very much alive here. Let me let me show you some settings here.

00:16:50:04 – 00:17:12:00
Unknown
So I don’t like white generally posts. So I would go and I would ask them to make it as colorful as they, as their posts want to. So it makes it more beautiful, attractive. You can you can go into settings, you can have an icon, you can have whatever wallpaper you want. They have very interesting wallpapers, very colorful wallpapers which you can use.

00:17:12:00 – 00:17:35:09
Unknown
You can choose the color scheme you want to make it dark light font style post size is is it standard? Is it wide? I will I will go through format in a while because this will require some time. And I will show you exactly what. What happens here is where you can switch on or off the comments. So if somebody wants to comment on Sherry is if Sherry tired somebody can say or everything.

00:17:35:09 – 00:17:53:08
Unknown
Okay. So if you want the comments to be there, you can switch it on or switch it off if you want the emojis, you can have the emojis. I don’t want them, I just want the like post. Okay, so then I will only say, I only want the like, not the emojis. You want to show authors or is it an anonymous submission?

00:17:53:08 – 00:18:22:13
Unknown
So if you are, if you don’t want to, even if I have an account, it will not now not show my name. Moderation this generally I make it auto or I switch it off because generally are all learners are adults. This is more applicable in settings in which we are dealing with children. But you can if you think that you want to approve the post before it gets gets posted on the on on the page you can do the manual approved.

00:18:22:13 – 00:18:46:15
Unknown
So every time you write something, it will come to me first and I will approve. And then it will show that be shown there. Or I can say auto, if there is profanity or anything that then it will come to me, otherwise it will not. So these are some basic, settings. One other thing, when you share it with your students, make sure that the visitor permission is set at writer so visitors can write.

00:18:47:00 – 00:19:03:04
Unknown
Otherwise you can see visitors can also read. So if you don’t want to, if you if it’s just a resource why you don’t want them to add, you can give them a reader view as well that they can. They can. They do not mess around with your settings. Because you have for years and years and made this.

00:19:03:06 – 00:19:21:10
Unknown
You want to show them, but you don’t want them to edit it. So you can do a reader access as well, or a comment or access or a writer X, whatever access you feel like. And then the link can be copied here. There’s a QR code if you want a QR code if you want to save it before.

00:19:21:11 – 00:19:45:04
Unknown
So if I have only, space for for free books, if I want to archive it before archiving it, I can export this as PDF as one image, as a CSV, whatever. Downloadable file I want. I can create it through Padlet. So this is the settings page. Now what I wanted to show you which we saw the wall format.

00:19:45:05 – 00:20:15:03
Unknown
I’m quickly going to go into the columns format. I find that this is one of those formats which are commonly used by educators, because this can section out different. So if this was let’s say that this section is filling, and let’s say this section is events happening in town, whatever you want to call it based on what whatever you are teaching, people can then go and post in individual columns.

00:20:15:04 – 00:20:45:08
Unknown
Okay. So this gives access to individual columns that that you can make another way to do it, which again they have recently introduced this. For example you are doing a breakout room thing. So you make let’s say three breakouts in your classroom for on Microsoft Teams or even in the physical classroom. Now I want to give access to Group one of just this column, not the entire column, because I don’t want Group one to see what Group two is doing right now.

00:20:45:08 – 00:21:11:08
Unknown
Not right now. I will show them later. So what do I do? I create this, I will click on these three dots and it will give me an option of copy breakout room length. So if I copy that and I will share it with all of you in the chat, so that you can also see once you click on this link, it will only show you and I’ll open it here as well so that you can see it will only show you group one.

00:21:11:09 – 00:21:35:00
Unknown
It will not show you other. So on the left it is this group. What? But as as an as the teacher, you will have access to all of the boards. And then at the end of the assignment or during class or wherever you want to debrief it, you can show them everything that everyone has done. So this is a very cool way to organize your assignments or your submissions or your group work as well.

00:21:35:02 – 00:21:57:12
Unknown
Format that you saw earlier, which you were referring to, to some other. That was actually the column format that we had used, because it’s a very clean division of things. Okay, great, I like this. I, I teach off of an iPad and we can do breakout rooms on iPads. So this is helpful. Yeah. So yeah, this thing I think, you know always.

00:21:57:13 – 00:22:18:05
Unknown
So I will show you three more formats. I hope before we move to Microsoft Teams, a similar one two columns is grid. What happens is grid instead of the vertical column. This is horizontal columns. So it’s exactly the same thing. But instead of vertical it’s now horizontal. So events happening in down as a group one is this.

00:22:18:05 – 00:22:38:06
Unknown
Group two is this. So if you feel like this is better for and if you want to write a post here, you can write whatever you want. Publish it. It will be in this group. So depending on what you prefer, what your students prefer, how you organize your thoughts, this can work as well. It’s very similar to the column one.

00:22:38:07 – 00:22:55:02
Unknown
Now this is table is a very recent introduction. So for table let me let me clear everything out. So here if we go here we can click on table.

00:22:55:03 – 00:23:24:11
Unknown
Okay. So in table what happens is it has some fields already in this table. So if you want it to have it you’re giving each group an assignment. And that assignment has different parts to it. So you can say let’s say this is group one stable and table. And you can change the names. Write down the I want to say write out the title of the project.

00:23:24:12 – 00:23:45:11
Unknown
This is even further categorization of what’s happening with this subject. There’s attachment if they have external attachment if they want to write, write anything in the body. They are more than welcome to write anything in the body. And then reactions comments. You can add your own fields as well. So for example, if I want you to see.

00:23:45:12 – 00:24:03:11
Unknown
And then I can tell them this field type is a text type is a date type is a number or an email, whatever you want to call it. You can make it a required field so that they know that they have to type into it. So title of the project is required okay. So because underneath the subject I have already made a post.

00:24:03:11 – 00:24:21:09
Unknown
That’s why you cannot hide it. But you did. You saw that the body I was able to hide it because there is no post within it. So I can choose whatever fields I want to add based on the assignment or whatever work I’ve given, whatever project that I’ve given, and they can have different sections to it. So and this was group one.

00:24:21:09 – 00:24:43:11
Unknown
This is group two. What if you want to add on to it. So you’ll then click on plus the students and they will say what is the title of the project. Because that’s a required question. Title is categories. Whether and I will publish it it will show me the title. Now I want to attach an attachment. I can attach an attachment if I want to do a reaction.

00:24:43:11 – 00:25:03:10
Unknown
Whatever you want to do, we can do it. Let me delete this post. So that is only one. Okay. So this is another way to categorize stuff. Again, with this you can have the breakout room length. So each group can only see theirs. You don’t have to show everyone every as a teacher you can see every once.

00:25:03:12 – 00:25:23:05
Unknown
But students if you choose to, they can only see their own breakout room. Okay, this is, a free form, meaning that this will not be arranged, but. And then you can move them around on the screen. The others did not have that. So you can move them around. And then you can also make you can connect it to a different post.

00:25:23:05 – 00:25:45:01
Unknown
So if you were brainstorming with something and this is a very cool way to the this is connected to this, but this is also connected to this. So you can you can ask them to brainstorm something and then ask them to connect different thoughts as well. So this can be a very cool way, for different people to be on the same board, make new posts, but also make those connections.

00:25:45:01 – 00:26:01:07
Unknown
This leads to this. This leads to this sort of an activity. If you feel like to me and the only others that we are not dealing right now, and you can and it’s very easy if you know the basic one, you can figure out the rest. There’s a timeline option, there’s a map option that there are different locations on the map.

00:26:01:07 – 00:26:20:14
Unknown
You can then make a post, connect it and all of those things. Timeline. They can make a timeline of different events happening in different years and make a timeline out of it. And let me go to Microsoft Whiteboard. Now, there are two ways to access Microsoft Teams, right? I will share my screen so that you can all see my teams.

00:26:20:15 – 00:26:44:03
Unknown
So this is how my teams is looking like. If you go on the left hand side there are three dots. I will click on these three dots and I will click on whiteboard and it will give me access. Hopefully to the whiteboard. Again, one of the advantages of whiteboard is that it is directly built into teams for Padlet.

00:26:44:03 – 00:27:09:10
Unknown
It’s an external website, that we are using. I think many of you have access whiteboard or use. It’s until you have used whiteboard pen. You have also I haven’t used it, but I have access because I do have access. I just use the word document and do notes. But of course this is interactive. So yeah, yeah, more colorful, more more interactive play that students can play around with.

So let’s do what you do as well. I do what you do as well, Penny. I used to use Microsoft Teams whiteboard, but it doesn’t record sometimes. And so I just open up a blank word document and I type on there. But like you said, Ali, it’s not interactive that way. So this is how the screen would look like of a of a whiteboard at the top.

00:27:33:13 – 00:27:57:14

You can the class name or whatever topic that you are studying so that it gets saved by that name and is easier for you to access. Then here there are more options and there are templates. So there are so many templates already here that you can choose from. So with Padlet there are columns. There’s similar things here. And let’s say I’m using this template I place it here.

00:27:57:15 – 00:28:17:10
Unknown
So for moving around you have to use the pan button. Not this. So you can move around. And there are prompt here ideas add text. There are sticky notes. And then the same columns I can change I can delete whatever I feel like. Let me give you access to this whiteboard by just clicking the share button. After.

00:28:17:10 – 00:28:26:09
Unknown
Check here and make sure that the settings is for now that visitors can edit. So I will copy the link.

00:28:26:11 – 00:28:49:11
Unknown
So for example, I don’t want this affinity diagram or whatever. I will just select it. I will click on delete. It has gone very easy to do manipulate to move things around. Now the prompt I want to give my own prompt. So I will just go here, make a text box and write. How am I feeling today?

00:28:49:12 – 00:29:10:15
Unknown
This is, let’s say, the prompt. I can ask students to either pick up a sticky note from here and place wherever they want, whatever the column is, whatever the text this task is. Or they can make a new sticky note by going here. There are different colors here, and I can put this around. So however, if you don’t want to give, provide them sticky note this.

00:29:10:15 – 00:29:31:01
Unknown
You can delete this as well. So it is very you can delete whatever you feel like it. And put whatever you want. Students can go together. The good thing about this, which Padlet doesn’t do, is that I can see everyone’s name, where they are at. So I know Penny right now is in theme for column and Cherie is in team one column.

00:29:31:03 – 00:29:54:01
Unknown
So and at the top I can see okay. And so that two people have logged in. So it’s a good way to see how many people are engaged. And if somebody is not somebody is having some difficulty. I can follow up individually. I have used it on my phone. It works. Well. I before the workshop started, I was just checking if it works on my phone.

00:29:54:01 – 00:30:10:11
Unknown
It seems like it does. Your students are joining from phone. They can actually go and access it as well. When I was using this in my classroom, there were a few, a couple students actually, who were not able to access it. So I would ask them, can you please type it in the chat? And I will copy and paste their comment here.

00:30:10:12 – 00:30:31:08
Unknown
But again with the whiteboard. The thing is that if you if there’s whole class collaboration beautiful for this, if this is a if there is a breakout room you want to do, then you have to create separate whiteboards for each, which is also fine because there is no limit. This is a paid account, so you can create as many whiteboards as you want with Padlet.

00:30:31:08 – 00:30:54:04
Unknown
You you can give access to only one column only thing, one letter only thing do. The other thing is you can also add the actions. So for example I want to add reactions to or I really like this post. I can add different kinds of reactions. To this from where the heart is. Yes, where the heart is.

00:30:54:04 – 00:31:12:12
Unknown
If you can click. There are many different kinds of emotions that you can choose to give. And then I can also upload documents, images, links, videos, all those things if you want to include. I was just trying to include a page document. So when you upload a PDF it will ask you do you want the whole PDF or you want only one page?

00:31:12:12 – 00:31:34:03
Unknown
So I want students to read only one page and then comment. So this is a very good way to do that is oh my God. So how can you add the this this document. So if you click on three dots yes I’m just clicking on the screen right now. So I’ve clicked on documents. And let’s say if I want to do preparing for a meeting this is a core document.

00:31:34:03 – 00:31:56:01
Unknown
Let’s see if we select it. So I’m trying to upload a document as a participant. Yes. Possible. Yeah it should be not that okay. Perfect I can see it. And and see what what it can do now in your docu I can I don’t need all I can move things around. I can only get this out. So if you see I’ve just pulled one slide out.

00:31:56:03 – 00:32:16:15
Unknown
If a student wants this, they can move things around as well. I don’t want any of your slide. I just want this one that speaks to me. So you can do that. And can you read it? Because I it’s really small on my so so reading it is if you go at bottom right there is a magnifier. So zoom in option so you can zoom in.

00:32:17:00 – 00:32:42:06
Unknown
However much you want. And then you select the hand icon and pan it around. So I want is read supporting documents supporting argument. Sorry. And I will move and zoom and and then I can read okay. Oh wow. The other the other thing is if I, if there is a post let’s say this is a PDF file, I don’t want students to move things around until this.

00:32:42:08 – 00:33:03:03
Unknown
I can click on it and I can lock it. So this lock. So if if you see my screen I’ve clicked on it, clicked on the three dots and locked it. Now I can move things around. I cannot as well because I have locked it now. But students will also not be able to move things around. You can keep some elements of the board like I don’t want people to move team three, so I will go and lock it right.

00:33:03:04 – 00:33:23:01
Unknown
So I don’t want everyone to keep moving things around, I want them, I want some things to be locked and then students can move it. Otherwise everything will be all over the place. So just to make sure, what are you moving around? What are you not moving around? What are you locking it so that students can move some things, but not everything.

00:33:23:03 – 00:33:44:06
Unknown
And they get super excited if they learn these things. And then they they go crazy. Like they just keep adding thing. Yeah. Like I’m doing. Yep, yep. And then they go and allow them to play and that is completely fine. Yeah. And they will become comfortable with with this whatever tool I would, I would generally hop on hop off from whiteboard.

00:33:44:06 – 00:34:03:02
Unknown
At times I would do whiteboard, at times I would do Padlet depending on my classroom need. But whatever program you do, make sure that you consistently use it. So even if it’s not every class, but every three four classes, you bring it back so that they become fluent in it. Because this is like writing or this is like reading.

00:34:03:02 – 00:34:23:09
Unknown
You have to keep on doing it so that you become fluent in it. If I go to my home page, I will show you how I have used in. In the last class I was teaching. So this was one of the things that I was doing. There was a chapter in Human Services we are calling characteristics of the of the helper, and this is how I ask them to use this whiteboard.

00:34:23:09 – 00:34:43:08
Unknown
I made this from the template. I have these characteristics. I am building these characteristics. I want to learn these characteristics. And they went in and put it. It looks colorful like they would want to engage with. Then I would take a picture, send it to everyone so that they have access to it the other way was, I do not want them to write this time.

00:34:43:08 – 00:35:08:15
Unknown
I just want you to give reaction. So I gave them different scenarios, nine scenarios, and I put different emojis for different models. I just wanted them to go inside each and give them an emoji. So I know, okay, the class understands what’s a medical model, what’s a public health model? Depending on the emoji they are using, do you ever do you use this even as, a lesson plan?

00:35:09:00 – 00:35:28:00
Unknown
Like you have your agenda and you just use this as a lesson plan and have all the links to it? And I have I have not use it, but I have seen some teachers use it. That everything that you want to cover in the class, it’s already there. The danger only is that students can go because students like to play around.

00:35:28:02 – 00:35:47:04
Unknown
So because it is a single whiteboard, they can go down, they can see whatever it’s coming. And then I would like to have the surprise element. Yes. In my class as the class progresses. So I don’t want them to go ahead. I want to lead them towards me too. Yeah. So that is why I wouldn’t recommend having the entire class, there.

00:35:47:04 – 00:36:09:08
Unknown
But a section of it when you are discussing, when you are brainstorming and then build it off. Okay. On another whiteboard. So again, these are two apps, two different apps. You can be used for similar purposes, has individual strengths and individual weaknesses. But I really like both of these apps. And I think students also enjoy, working with these apps.

00:36:09:09 – 00:36:36:04
Unknown
I am not sure if the whiteboard whiteboard generally is only adding stuff writing, drawing, adding files. It doesn’t let you record, I believe, or video recording. Which Padlet does it let it lets you video record. It lets you engage with auditory senses as well. So what I like to do sometimes, quite often actually is I’ll make a document, just a word document again.

00:36:36:04 – 00:37:00:10
Unknown
And I have a table and I’ll assign a number to each student. And they have to go next to the number, the box next to the number and write something that I’m asking them to because I want to go back and edit the sentences together as a class. How can we do it here? Because here they’ve got these little note papers, right?

00:37:00:12 – 00:37:26:05
Unknown
I can’t remember what they call sticky notes. Yeah, sticky notes, but can I have a chart where they actually go in into the section that is assigned to them so they could write. So let’s see if I want to do table and I want to do let’s say this table. So there are so many templates. And so where it says context I will write let’s say the student’s name or whatever you want to write.

00:37:26:05 – 00:37:43:14
Unknown
So so here I will write let’s say I will write here many many can write here. Central can write here. So depending on how many students you have, you can copy and paste all of this as well. So for example I’ve made these three boxes. Now I have nine boxes. So this only has six. So what will I do.

00:37:43:14 – 00:38:10:01
Unknown
I will just select all of this control C and I will say control V copy paste everything back. I will change the name and then I will lock it. So I know that I cannot move around otherwise you can move this page around this. So I want to lock this. I will just go here, lock it so that nobody can now move this arrow or by locking doesn’t move, but they can actually edit and type.

00:38:10:02 – 00:38:29:12
Unknown
Yeah. But they cannot move around. So I don’t want them to. Oh I leave Benny here. Let’s say Benny does all the work. And Ben and Ali now moves his name into Benny’s name. I don’t want them. Okay. So I want to make sure that they know. I know that Ali is here. Pennies here, $10 here. And can I go in and edit what they’ve done?

00:38:29:14 – 00:38:36:01
Unknown
You can, so I can. Oh, yes, you can edit it.

00:38:36:02 – 00:38:55:08
Unknown
You can leave comments as well. So once they have done it you can you want to leave a comment. You can add you can add a comment as well. Beautiful. So here it says plus which is new comment. So whatever they have written now I will make a very good or whatever whatever I want to type in. I can leave comments for different people depending on your needs.

00:38:55:08 – 00:39:07:00
Unknown
You can search for templates. The templates should be there. There are many templates out here. I hope this was helpful. So hopefully see you next in the next workshop whenever that happens. Thank you for being here.
