My Learning Experience: This week was about assessments and evaluation of skills taught using online tools. In teaching diverse learners, we have to also provide a variety of ways for those learners to show what they have learned. Quizizz and Kahoot are cool and engaging ways to assess student knowledge. Kahoot can only be done during live engagement while Quizizz can service both synchronous and asynchronous learning. I have used Kahoot and find that both students and adults really get fired up when answering questions. It's pretty cool. Quizizz has some nice tools as well including tracking student progress. Rubistar is awesome and changed the game in how I provide metrics for evaluation. I really like this site and think it's something I will definitely will be using to create rubrics. We also explored extending learning by providing resources and spaces for students to seek more knowledge. Our designated tools were Padlet and Thinglink. Both tools provide the same thing - a resource page for students that can be centered on a single topic or for a general subject. The biggest difference is that Padlet works like a bulletin board where you can post things (videos, pictures, notes, etc) related to the topic for students. Depending on the permissions, students can also post notes and add to the "pad". Thinglink actually uses a picture to drive the review and hyperlink parts of the picture. The hyperlinks can range from a note, a voice message, video, or another picture. Padlet is the most user-friendly and provides a great way interact with students. Thinglink has some benefits, however, the interface and cumbersome navigation make it difficult to fully embrace. It does offer a way to diversify information to support different learning styles. Overall, this week was full of some great tools.

Hey Carletta, great work this week on all your projects! Like you and everyone else in our group, I would also agree that Padlet seems to be the superior of the two, but I began to think on it and I do think Thinglink probably does have some situational use that might be great for students! For example: combining Thinglink with a Frayer Model for students to edit and fill out might be a great interactive activity for them! Great job this week!
