SUMMARY:Tech Treks: Getting Started with Padlet
DESCRIPTION:Are you new to Padlet? Padlet is a dynamic digital bulletin board where students and teachers can post text\, images\, videos\, links\, and more—all on one interactive\, customizable canvas. Whether you’re sparking ideas\, checking for understanding\, or creating visually rich lesson spaces\, Padlet makes real-time (and asynchronous!) collaboration simple and engaging. \nWe’re setting off from the trailhead! This is your first stop in your Padlet hike\, where our trail guide will go over the basics of making an account and utilizing a Padlet board to create engaging and collaborative experiences for the classroom. \nFor this session\, we also have an expert from Padlet joining to show us the ropes! By the end\, you’ll walk away with a fully designed opener activity you can use with students right away. \n💡 What You’ll Experience: \n\n\n\n\n\nCreate your Padlet account and build your first board step-by-step.\nCustomize your board’s layout\, colors\, themes\, and posting settings to match your lesson goals.\nAdd multimedia elements like text\, images\, links\, videos\, drawings\, and audio recordings.\nSet sharing permissions for private\, classroom-only\, or fully collaborative participation.\nDesign and take home a fun\, ready-to-launch opener activity to boost student engagement from the very first minutes of class.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis isn’t your typical sit-and-watch session. You’ll actively build\, customize\, and test your Padlet board in real time. We recommend using two devices for this webinar: one to view the session and another (like a laptop or tablet) to explore Padlet as you go. \nIllinois educators who register here and attend live through Zoom can earn 1.0 PD credit.
