Collaboration
Excel Survey – Create polls, quizzes, and surveys to use for formative assessment. You can create a questionnaire based on specific reading passages or information presented in class. Through the use of OneDrive (formerly SharePoint), you get quick results of your poll or survey in an excel document. Watch the tutorial below to help you create an Excel survey.
Primary Wall – This real-time sticky note program allows users to collaborate together. Users create a free account. Others can join their “wall” to add sticky notes. This site is great for younger users. The backgrounds and colors lend themselves more to elementary and middle school students.
TitanPad – TitanPad is real-time collaboration system. This site allows a user to create a “pad” similar to a notepad. Others can add to the pad and contributors’ comments are color coded. This site is better for middle and high school students. www.titanpad.com
Padlet – Padlet is another real time collaboration tool similar to TitanPad and Primary Wall. This site allows users to create a “pad” and give others access to add comments and posts in real time. This site has many features that are good to use in a presentation when you want to display the “pad” for all to see. www.padlet.com
