I'm thinking of doing a contest with the teachers....bulletin board idea!

Pic Kids

A fun, creative, versatile tool for teacher and student!

I created a picture collage as one of my artifacts I sent to Common Sense Media for my Digital Citizenship certification.

First grade students used Pic Kids to create a collage all about themselves, then shared with their class by loading it to Seesaw.

The #creative kids in the after-school class used Pic Kids to create Lego build cards and backgrounds for their green screen book recommendations and animal facts!  So many skills rolled into these projects:  build & deconstruct, research with PebbleGo, Britannica Encyclopedia and World Book Web and writing.

Tech integration fun

I just love the versatility of Padlet!  Teachers can setup a FREE account and create all sorts of walls or backgrounds for students to share to.

For example, my second grade students just discussed "website that are right for me" as part of their Digital Citizenship unit in library media.  We talked a lot about green light websites and then generated a list of our favorite websites, that are just right for kids.  Students added their favorite green light website to our "Green Websites" wall.

We are also using Padlet to showcase our videos from Hour of Code. So easy to use and easy to access. Padlet lets students quickly and easily share their work.
