are ready and waiting for you.
Check it out~
This month's Read-to-Me Flipgrid/Padlet selection is a Splat the Cat book about ice cream! Who doesn't love Splat the Cat? Students will have the opporunity to draw their favorite ice cream on the Padlet board or leave a video post on Flipgrid about their favorite flavor and how many ice cream cones they think they can eat.
New this month~ Padlet has some phenomenal updates which will allow your students to draw, take pictures, leave an audio or video post right in the app/online simply by clicking the 3 vertical dots on their post! I encourage you to share one or several of these new upgrades with your students to allow them to take more ownership of their posts.
As always, encourage your students to read others' posts and if they like their post, have them click on the heart at the bottom of the sticky note or leave a comment if comments are turned on. Being reflective and having an authentic reason to like something is a great first step towards leaving meaningful and authentic feedback.
We encourage you to have conversations with your students on what constitutes a good post and how to be a good digital citizen when working online. You can find several resources to help you with these conversations on this previous blog post.
