Padlet Review

Padlet can be defined as a paper screen. But imagine everybody is able to contribute to that piece of paper at the same time. Yes, that's Padlet. It is a versatile platform that can be used for various purposes. Students can share their ideas with each other easily, they can group some elements they learn in the class or ask questions to each other freely.This app is specially helpful for online classroom environments as it speeds up the communication process. Here is a screenshot of a Padlet wall I created for an English lesson as warm-up activity:

Here, we asked our students to respond our question as an opening activity. With Padled, we did this brain-storming in a fast and fun way. Also the participation rate was higher with such apps as students feel more comfortable while writing than speaking.

Edpuzzle Review

  Ed-puzzle is a website for creating educational videos. Other than creating our own videos, the platform enables us to use countless content on YouTube and edit them which makes the website quite useful. What I find the most beneficial is that teachers can add questions to some parts of the videos. So when a video is assigned to students, they need to listen carefully and answer the questions. I believe it is a great and fun way of assigning homework. Here is a YouTube video I edited on Edpuzzle. I cropped the video and added a question. This video can be used in a classroom for an introduction lesson to Philosophy or can be assigned to students before an introduction course.
