Padlet for Writing Persuasive Text in Mr Klaric's Year 4 Class

Using a Padlet board created by Mr Klaric, students continued with their scaffolded learning task of writing a Persuasive Text. Students were able to refer to an example prepared by Mr. Klaric and then independently write their Persuasive arguments on the Padlet board. This allowed students to share out their arguments and refine their counter arguments by viewing some opposing ones.
As a differentiation strategy some students were provided the choice to upload a video explaining their persuasive arguments. Mr Klaric set a grid layout to make it easier for the students to view their contributions. The class also discussed self management strategies if the app wouldn't work e.g. exiting the app and restarting again.
Students accessed the Padlet board created by Mr Klaric by either:
- Using the Padlet app on their allocated iPads. On the home screen students selected 'Proceed as Guest' and then scanned the QR code in the Padlet app.
- By using a QR code scanner app already on the iPad.
