Teaching Using Padlet and What is Hot Potato?

-

 


    Hi readers! Welcome back to my blog! It's been a while since the last time I post my last article. 
    This article, will talk about using Padlet Platform to teach and an application called Hot Potato. 

    First if all, are you familiar with a platform called Padlet? I think that everyone knows Padlet these days since many people have used Padlet. This platform itself is easy to use and very nice. People only need to have an account which can be connected with email and we can make a room for people to involve in the discussion. 
    This time, Group 1 up to Group 4, have used Padlet for a teaching demo. Each group needs to conduct a teaching demo with different kinds of topic. Then, each group needs to explain the materials and the Padlet needs to also take roles in the teaching demo. 
    On the teaching demo, each group has different kinds of topic and they use the platform in different ways. Each group has their own style on using it. There was a group that use Padlet to ask the students to upload a pictures. There was also a group which asked the students to give comments. There was a group which put the materials and links to Padlet. So each group has their own style on using Padlet. Here is the link for all the teaching demos (teaching demo using Padlet):

By having those teaching demos, hope that you are inspired on using Padlet for various activities. 

    Now let us move to the next part. We are going to discuss about Hot Potato . Any one know about Hot Potato? I guess not all people know about it. So Hot Potato is an application which is can be used to make games and the games are in the form of HTML. There are many kinds of game that you can make using this application. There are JCloze, JMatch, JQuiz, JCross, and JMix. Those games are pretty simple and everyone can access the game easily. But, one thing that you need to know is that you need to download and install this application to your PC. Then you need to write your name. After you write it, you are able to use the application. For further information about Hot Potato Application, please watch this following video from group 5:

    We have discussed about the various use of Padlet for teaching and an application which is called Hot Potato. Those tools can help you to make your class to be more interactive. Hope you are interested in using the tools and have another create idea on creating activities using both application for teaching. So, that's all from me now, see you on my next post.
