How does this help open up Environmental Science?

  • Gives every student a voice.
  • Stops the most dominant student voice in the class from being heard.
  • Perfect tool to increase classroom engagement.
  • Padlet’s digital notice board is able to feature images, links, videos, and documents, all collated on a "wall"
  • Appeals to a range of learning styles/types.

 

Are there any barriers to the learners?

  • Access to technology is biggest barrier.
  • You do loose a little of the nuance from verbal discussion and debate.
