How to Create Your Journal Posts

Posting to Padlet for each Module

• Every post needs to contain a visual and/or audio in addition to text.
• The content for each post is included both in the assignment and in the linked Padlet and topics vary. Possible topics:
  1. Choose vocabulary terms, define and include relevant examples using or defining the term, including instructional or entertaining videos, images, text, recordings, drawings, memes, and other media. You should have an excellent understanding of the term and its meaning and use and relevancy.
  2. Choose an article from the Unit, then provide your reaction to the content. Use research or other information regarding the content. This can include another study, more recent developments, or even a counter-argument. You can choose to focus your attention on one element of the article. Make sure to cite your sources.
  3. Your analysis or reaction or investigation of a concept or event covered in this Module's text material. You are encouraged to relate any current development, news, or event to the concept.
     • Some students need ideas for exploration, which is why examples will be included for each Module.
     • You may choose different concepts to write about but they must be from the text material.
  4. Sharing experiences, preferences, or "favorite" media.

Tips on how to create your posts on Padlet

1. 1. To make a post, you have choices:
      • click the plus symbol  in the lower-right corner.
      • double-click anywhere on the board.
      • paste from your clipboard.
      • drag files in.
   2. Choose a detailed title (include the Unit number, a title for your post, and **your full name**), then click in the text area below the title to provide your description. Our institutional account has limited allocations and students can't usually get an account, according to IT. Your posts will be labeled anonymous (unless you have an account from a previous class). Including your name on your post is vital.
   3. Click the web search button to find an image.  Alternatively, you can also upload or link an image to your post.

   5. Once you have finished each post, you can click anywhere in the background portion of the Padlet to complete.
