Bulletin Boards and "Walls"
Lino (http://en.linoit.com/)
Lino is a website that allows users to create their own personal bulletin boards. On this site users can customize their bulletin board however they like, by including sticky notes, photos, links, videos and more. The application is simple and free to use and could be easily worked into a classroom setting. For example teachers could create interactive bulletin boards for introducing new topic to the classroom such as when the class is starting a new book, or creating a Greece board when starting to learn about ancient Greece. Teachers could also assign students projects on lino such as having partners collaborate on a bulletin board to do with a book they are reading or slowly post notes and pictures of a science project they are working on over a long period of time.
Padlet http://www.padlet.com
Padlet is an online tool that allows students and teachers to express their thoughts on a topic. It works like an online sheet of paper or an online bulletin board where students or teachers can put any content such as pictures, videos, documents or texts, anywhere on the page. It can be accessed through any device and users can customize the wall title, description, background (wallpaper), and the layout of the post by either dragging-and-dropping or double-clicking anywhere on the wall. The finished work can be shared with anybody once it is adjusted in the privacy setting. It can also be set as private. I believe that this website can be a very useful tool for an elementary teacher, because it is very simple and organized. Not only is it easy for teachers to access, but it is very simple for students to use as well. Through Padlet, users can pose open-ended questions and the students can collect and save information in a simple, fun manner. It can be great for students to improve their critical thinking skill through investigating, collecting data and applying the information onto their bulletin board. Also, it can be great for teachers to assign homework by creating a shared wall for the class and have students upload papers directly to the wall.
