ONLINE WAY OF "WRITE ON A STICKY NOTE AND PUT IT ON THE WALL" ACTIVITY

Hello my dear readers! You are now seeing my online board that I created with my friends Izel, Aleyna and Ecem. This online board is called Padlet. It is a great place for gathering ideas, sharing them and modifying them later. Users can add links, YouTube videos, files and images to Padlet notes. The good news is Padlet is a great classroom tool and there are plenty of ways to use it. Here is a poster of 30 ways to use it: 

As you see on the top, our task was using Padlet in KWL chart format. We had three columns to fill as "Know, Want to Know and Learned". Our topic was global warming. I know that our planet is warming up, ice sheets are melting and the sea level is increasing. One of the causes of global warming is the rise of atmospheric CO2 concentration. Burning fossil fuels, deforestation and even use of deodorants increases carbon dioxide levels. But I didn’t know how far it can go and if we don’t take actions how it will affect us. After my research I saw that there are a lot of organizations fighting against climate change and there are hundreds of small actions we can take. On the other hand, I saw what's at stake if we don't act now. 

This task made me notice what I don't know about global warming and enabled me to learn them. Since it was a collaborative work, I really enjoyed it.
