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.

Empowered Learner- students are using technology to understand what their learning goals are.

Knowledge constructor- students use technology to conduct knowledge on subject matter.

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

This resource allows educators to post what they’d typically write on a board in a digital bulletin board like style. The website
looks like a bulletin board and the user can post sticky notes, pictures, and videos on it rather than writing everything on the
board. It is great to have everything you want to address with your students in one place then once you have covered the topic
you can “peel the sticky note off” by clicking a button and it will disappear. This a much more visually pleasing way to cover what
activities are upcoming, along with due dates, and bell work .

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 would integrate this tool into my lesson by posting the schedule, bell work, and other reminders on this platform then project it
onto the front board for my students to see. As I address each upcoming event with the student I would “peel off” the sticky note
to make sure I cover everything with my students. I would occasionally show a video on my bulletin board to introduce what is
being covered that class before starting the actual lesson.

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 this tool a two because although it is a unique way of displaying upcoming activities in the classroom, a teacher
could do the same using their white board. However, I do believe that students would like this tool more as it is more tidy and
visual pleasing. It is also more interactive with the concept of peeling of each note after the topic has been covered.
