I still remember very vividly my first day of remote teaching, it was unforgettable! It was so intense and I didn't know how remote teaching "look-like" until that first day. Like most teachers, I love challenges, so after some weeks of remote teaching I started to get better at that, (or at least, I wasn't that nervous about it!)
Luckily, we're now in the process of returning to our "in-school" teaching. However, there are so many features about remote teaching that I can't just leave behind. I don't know if I can go back to plan my lessons on PowerPoint ... A series of slides now feels just so "lineal". I don't think it would be challenging enough for my students and me. Plus the opportunity to go paperless is so attractive! I started planning my lessons using Padlet . It gives me the opportunity to lay out where I envision my students' learning to go. I can add the resources and links to other websites and PDFs. It's also an opportunity to allow my students to see how their learning journey is supposed to evolve over the different lessons in a term and they can assess their own learning progress too. This is my take on how Padlet can be used for teaching: We are so fortunate at work as each student has their own iPad with them, all day for every lesson, which means that I can share my Padlet link for the Unit of work that we'll be learning that term and students can access and keep the resources on their iPads. As many of you have probably noticed, during the lockdown, students became more independent with their learning and it's certainly something I'd love to continue fostering. Using Padlet, students can also access links to resources and pages for independent learning and revision that I have chosen and shared with them.
