Interactive Padlets in Art

Elementary art classes have been experiencing art in a new and interactive way!  Elementary students at Elsie Johnson School and Western Trails School have been using Padlets to view different forms of art, elements of art, and art from around the world.  Students are able to explore and extend their learning on a project at their own pace.  Students can also be introduced to the next unit prior to the start of class, allowing them time to explore and bring questions on day one of the new unit.  This opens the world of art for students to see different art forms, explore at their own pace and see the elements of art up-close and personal.

Consider adding interactive Padlets to your class to help students extend their learning!
