Associated Learning Standard(s): The resource may be generally applicable, if so, simply state that. List any ISTE-S standards that
seem to naturally align with the selected resource.

3c - Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that
demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.

RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.

Padlet is a website that allows the user to organize any form of data into a visual. The user can create mood boards, slides or
timelines within the website and fill with various amount of information. Padlet is also collaborative and allows for users to share
and create information together.
 INTEGRATION IDEA - COLLABORATION
How might you integrate this resource in a lesson plan to promote collaboration among students in your classroom, or among
students and others outside of the classroom?

I could see this tool being helpful as a way to organize notes, similar to Google Docs. Students could easily share a padlet filled
with information from a lecture or study guide. Outside of the classroom, students could organize information in preparation for a
presentation.

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
 Based on the “value-added rating scale” above, how would you rate the technology integration you described, using the
selected resource?
 Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.

I would rate Padlet at a three. While the tool is cool and can align to content standards, it only serves as a supplement and
wouldn’t add much to the lesson by itself. In most cases, I see the teacher rather than students using this tool.
