Padlet Wall Assignment

This assignment gives you a chance to research one of the topics covered in the assigned readings from Weeks 1 through 3 of this course (chapters 1 through 6). You will choose a topic, do some research on your own as well as use the material found in the textbook, and teach it to the class through the use of the Padlet tool. This will give you a chance to visually present the topic to the class. It is important to do your best to present your chosen topic in an effective manner. Padlet is an interactive poster where you can share interesting information on a virtual cork board. Here is the link to the website to create your Padlet Wall: https://padlet.com/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..  Remember, you are to choose a topic from a chapter covered in weeks 1 through 3. On your board, you will use images, videos, and text to teach your fellow classmates (as well as myself) about your chosen topic. Other than using the information found in your textbook, I strongly suggest for you to do some research on the topic on your own. You may find some current events on the topic you are covering, if so, make sure to include it. Make sure to create a reference list of any sources you have used. If you need some assistance or you have questions, be sure to let me know.

• If you run into any issues using Padlet Wall, you can always put together a very short powerpoint on your topic.  Reach out to me with questions.

There is a content page titled, “Padlet Wall Instructions” which describes this assignment, the Padlet tool, provides videos, and examples of how to use Padlet. Here is the link to the content page in our course:

Once you have created your Padlet Wall and posted it to the designated discussion board forum. You will create a short Flipgrid video (of at least 30 seconds) on what your Padlet Wall is covering and anything interesting that you learned.
