ONLINE TOOLS FOR ETWINNING
18th March 2016 Malta
Amanda Debattista eTwinning NSS - Malta
TODAY’S PRESENTATION:
How to use online tools effectively in class
There are many online tools that one can use in class - the important thing is to identify those that can help us to achieve our aims and objectives with our students. Just because a tool
is ‘cool’ and ‘fancy’ doesn’t mean that it is useful or pedagogically sound.
Remember: Technology is useless if we use it only for the sake of ‘using technology’ !
LET US START WITH THE FIRST TOOL:
Padlet: An online, embbeddable online whiteboard. it us updated in real time and you can add as many collaborators as you wish. Visit our Padlet for today: http://padlet.com/amromica/18march16

NOW LET US BRAINSTORM SOME IDEAS:
Popplet: allows you to visualise your ideas and collaborate together on a common theme. The free version allows for up to 10 Popplets per year however one can register using different email accounts. Take a look at this tutorial:
