Collaborative Tools for Classroom Use

The group discussed several collaborative tools including Padlet, VoiceThread, and Seesaw. Padlet allows multiple students to edit a single page to collaboratively create presentations, timelines, blogs and more. VoiceThread enables students to create visual and audio presentations and add voiceovers. Seesaw facilitates sharing pictures of student work. The tools offer opportunities for collaboration across grades and subjects such as kindergarten students introducing themselves on Padlet, middle schoolers creating a collaborative story on VoiceThread, and high schoolers researching historical figures for a Seesaw presentation. Challenges include a lack of live communication options and ensuring clear technology use.
