Use Padlet to Assist students' Process-Based Writing

4/7/2020

 

By Jiali Wang

​The drafting process can be challenging for students and online instruction may make it even harder for teachers to monitor students’ drafting process. Padlet can help teachers support and monitor students’ process-based writing.

​Here are several advantages of Padlet: 
  1. Padlet allows students to easily synthesize all kinds of resources, which can be especially helpful when they need evidence to support their arguments or when they conduct inquiry-based projects. Pictures, website links, documents videos, and soundtracks, can all be collected together on a single page.
  2. Padlet facilitates collaboration and helps all students to participate. Padlet allows group collaboration. When students are engaged in online collaborative writing, they can use Padlet to co-construct an outline.
  3. There are 8 different templates that can meet the needs of different writing genres. One template to recommend is Canvas, where students can link everything with arrows. With such a function, students can be more aware of the structure and logic of their writing.
  4. Padlet encourages brainstorming. Using the Canvas template, students can be motivated to add more arrows and ideas. It becomes easier to add on an idea and keep brainstorming.
  5. Engage students in multimodal literacy practices.

​Creating a template for students like this may help students to be more aware of components of writing:
