Padlets, Word Walls, & QR codes

Do your students have problems typing in long URL's?  Me too!  Solution, Padlet!

Looking back I can now see that I could have used the Padlet tool for my reading vocabulary.  My students could have drawn a picture that represents the word we were studying using Doodle Buddy, then save it to the camera roll and then upload it to a Padlet!  What a great way to share student work and provide a study guide for the class!  This takes the take a word, draw a picture and write a sentence for the classroom, then do a walk around the room to view!  Here students will find inspiration in creating the drawing on the iPad and then post it to be shared all students very quickly.  In the sentence line I would have students either define the word in their own words, use the word in a sentence, provide 2 antonyms/synonyms, etc....  I got this idea from this writing project and checklist found at a blog post by Fabulous 5th Grade Fun!  If you go to the post you can get a free template for this give thanks project as well as general directions for drawing and sharing and a math problem example!
