Padlet is an interactive online learning wall where the user can add images, media, files, pdf’s, and just about anything else they want to create a unique learning environment. I recently used Padlet with my students to look at and discuss benchmark artwork. What I loved within Padlet was that my students could interact and discuss the artwork right on Padlet without an account. I was also able to embed the Padlet that I created within my classroom Wiki. * Padlet is now the former Wallwisher with many more capabilities.

What will you read this summer? Goodreads is an interesting website with many features geared to help you decide! I spent quite awhile at Goodreads exploring the site and all it’s features. Goodreads is also a community of readers sharing their likes and dislikes. The site has been up and running since 2007 and has 17 million readers reviewing and sharing what they have read. I really like the bookshelf feature which allows you to organize the books that you have already read, or want to read.
