Mapping my PLN – Kim W

November 20, 2020 • Response for Mapping your PLN Activity

I loved this activity! I was able to organize and make sense of what feels like an overwhelming number of connections and websites that I follow.

Padlet Scavenger

February 3, 2021 • Resource for Padlet Padlet Activity

I love the simplicity of Padlet. The choice to introduce any technology to a course needs to have its value weighed against the cost to introduce it in terms of time and money. Padlet has an extremely low cost of entry. It’s free to use and the UI is extremely simple so requires little instruction.

Sharing My SoTL Plan
