These are great ideas Charlie. I really enjoy watching your videos as I think we share similar teaching philosophies. I haven't used Padlet in a while. I've mainly used the Shelf design for sharing independent learning resources per skill or for students to write sentences using a range of conjunctions and linking words with the specified words or noun phrases as the title for each column, but your activities look like a lot of fun as learners co-construct meaning in a social learning environment. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Nalini for your feedback. I put a lot of work into the videos and it's great to read some positive comments. I'm not sure what I'd call my teaching philosophy exactly but I'm definitely a hands-off kind of teacher where I really push my students to be more active in the classroom and be more responsible for their own learning. I like your idea for perhaps more advanced learners, I'll pass it onto my teachers here.
Hi Charlie, I think all of the activities look great. My students are at third level. I used the map for a warmer activity this term asking Ss where they would like to be if they weren't stuck here! I've been using Padlet to look for feedback (on delivering lessons online). I used the shelf layout for this - what worked well/what could have been done differently/suggestions. I have also used the canvas layout for breakout activities, embedding a video and asking groups to answer particular questions when they've watched it. I could comment on their answers live in the Padlet. This layout is good as you can connect activities if you have a few for Ss to do in a particular order and have loose activity for fast finishers.

I am busy doing my tefl level 3 training and I have to tell you that I am hooked on your tutorials. Thank you for inspiring me to keep going.
That's great to hear, good luck with the rest of the course and see you in another video.
I am so happy I found you, Charlie! I love your ideas and can’t wait to start using them with my ELs.
Such a lovely comment, thank you 😍
I love the story activity. I always use that game in my f-2-f classes and had never thought of it for an online class.
It's a classic for sure!
I like categorizing the vocabulary words.

I will try a map assignment. Thanks for the idea.
That's awesome, let me know how you get on.
Seems great for group lessons and activities. I wonder the suitability for 1 on 1 lessons though.
I guess with 1 to 1 classes, you as the teacher would have to step in and help collaborate.
Which activity do you think will work best with your students?

@@sbrennan8680 Wow you've got enough to make another whole video on Padlet. I didn't mention the canvas Padlet in my video but I use it often too.
@@CharliesLessons not bad for a woman who had never heard of Padlet, nor used Skype, Facebook or Zoom before the confinamiento last year!
