Assessment for Learning with Padlet using padlet for students' self assessment
How to use Padlet and a QR reader to enable students to reflect on their progress
Creating a new Padlet page
through the app, click on the new padlet option at the top left
Press the settings cog at the bottom right to add titles and backgrounds
The settings menu gives options to add a title, description and background along with changing the layout and privacy settings
You can add the title and learning objective for your lesson to make it easier for you to track and for your students to review at a later date
Add a background to make the page more interesting or share information
Add a link to the image by copying and pasting its web address
Your padlet page is now ready for sharing
Share a padlet page with your students by pressing the export button at the bottom right of the page
You can export the page to your students by using the AirDrop facility, if you and your students have it turned on, you can click on the iPads as they appear. Alternatively you can share it using a QR code
Your can project the QR code on to your board and students can use a QR reader (which they may need to download) to scan the code and take them to your padlet page
Students can now add a post by double tapping the screen or pressing the plus button
At the start of the lesson, students can RAG how confident they feel about the topic/learning objective
At the end of the lesson, the students can revisit the padlet page and update their RAG to show how confident they now feel about the lesson. You can see all of this, so can review if you need to spend more time on the topic
You can use this to help with planning to see where you may need an extra lesson or provide individual support
