WHAT IS PADLET? 🤔

If you ever want to
  • write down your ideas in a website where you can see all of them in an organized way
  • write a diary
  • create a timeline of your memories
  • prepare a recipe book
  • or do different kinds of stuff
then Padlet might come in handy. It is website where you can create a page and post things. It is like Twitter but less public and more useful. Here's how to use it:

After you admitted that you are beautiful and created your account, you can make a padlet by clicking the "MAKE A PADLET" button. 
Not the other ones. 
The one in pink.
You can also join a padlet. Yes, multiple persons can work on the same padlet. It's genius. Thank you Internet!



After you clicked that pink button you should be seeing this. If you are seeing different stuff, it means you missed the pink button and clicked on something else. 
This is the place that you choose what kind of padlet you want to create. I am not going to explain them all as the staff of this beautiful app already did. Read theirs.


I chose "Wall". Because it is the easiest to explain. After the choosing period, you will be directed to your padlet and there will be a panel where you can modify your padlet. There is not much things you can change but it is nice to have some customization preferences. It might be different than mine if you chose a different kind of padlet by the way. 



After you are finished with expressing yourself with colours and backgrounds you can finally post something with this round button. It should be in the bottom right corner of your screen.


And this is your post. Or will be when you write something in it. You don't have to write though. You can put a picture, a website or even a YouTube video. It's up to you.


Aaand that's it. Now you learned something useful today. If you want to see an example here it is:
THE GREATEST PADLET EVER

Nice, huh?

Four Language Learning Apps

1. Duolingo Duolingo, if what they claim is true, is the most popular language learning app. The app is free and with less than 100 MB of download, you can create your profile and start learning a language right away. Currently there are 30 million English learners in the app.  The process of learning is very easy to understand. There modules and each of them has vocabulary and grammar rules for you to learn. Activities contain listening, translating and writing. Repetition is also a key factor. As you move forward, the app tracks your progress and if one of your module knowledge is weakens, it warns you so that you can practice it again and strengthen your skill. You can also set daily goals and discuss the language rules in Duolingo forum.  2. Busuu This app is very similar to Duolingo. The process is just a bit different. The first thing I realized was that Busuu is more explanatory. Rather than letting you to deduce the rules, it gives them clearly. This app has an also a feature w

What is Gistory?

Here I am again with a different app that is going to help you in your journey of learning English. It is called Gistory and only available in Google Play and App Store . Gistory is a platform where people like you create language related content. I find the app really helpful in terms of practicing. Let's say you just learned about the present continuous tense at school and you want to strengthen your skills. If you do the gistory about the present continuous tense, it will have provided you enough practicing  experience. Gistories created on the app are not just true/false or fill-in-the-blanks questions. They can also have short passages, videos etc. You don't also see only grammar related gistories. There are also stories in the app that some people made. They are great beacuse the story continues according to your choices. As a creator, you can highlight the potentially unknown vocabulary and add the meanings of them for the learner.

Hi! I just finished preparing a short comic. It is a dialogue between a child and his father which begins with the son asking his father the meaning of the word winter. With this short comic, learners of English can familiarize themselves with seasons and their features. I used Pixton to create this comic. Pixton is a useful app where you can create comics.
