Original published on TREAT — Teachers Redesigning Educational Activities with Technology

GOAL

The students get the opportunity to write down and gather their thoughts and to check their understanding.

STEP-BY-STEP

  • ‍The teacher asks a question or sets a task:
  • It can be a very precise question to at text, a problem, a model, a definition, etc.
  • It can be a task such as translating a definition or a quotation into Danish or paraphrasing a definition or a quotation into one’s own words. (1 minute.)
  • Now the students write without stopping in a Padlet, a Google Docs or Blackboard Blog.
  • The thoughts must flow freely, and the students should not aim at writing a structured paper. (1–3 minutes.)
  • The students get a little time to read what they have written and gather their thoughts. (2 minutes.)
  • The answers are shown on the classroom screen and the teachers wraps up.
