As we establish our teaching within the SC Model, with more scope for asynchronous learning and in a time when our online student cohort is increasing, we believe in creating environments that foster reciprocal learning communities.
Padlet, a virtual whiteboard, provides a user-friendly interface that fosters collaboration, creativity, and knowledge sharing among students and teachers (Johnson et al., 2023). This presentation will showcase the different ways in which Padlet has been used across two units in the Faculty of Education. We will share Padlet's potential for both synchronous and asynchronous learning with specific examples from our units. We will showcase how using Padlet has allowed students to not be passive receivers of information, but rather active communities of practice that learn from doing and making.
Participants in this workshop will be able to learn how to use Padlet by contributing in real time to a collective Padlet created for the workshop.
