#Padlet in the classroom software

I have been using Padlet Backpack this year with my students so I could see when they updated their pages & track their progress. Thank you for sharing, Vicki! I love listening to your podcasts. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book. Twitter is her favorite place to share and she loves to make homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and enjoys running half marathons with her sisters. If you talk to Vicki for very long, she will encourage you to 'Relate to Educate' or 'innovate like a turtle' or to be 'a remarkable teacher.' She loves to talk to teachers who love their students and are trying to do their best. She is passionate about helping every child find purpose, passion, and meaning in life with a lifelong commitment to the joy and responsibility of learning. Vicki has spoken around the world to inspire and help teachers reach their students. Vicki has been teaching since 2002 and blogging since 2005. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers that are grounded in the truth and shared with love. Vicki focuses on what unites us - a quest for truly remarkable life-changing teaching and learning.

She hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast which interviews teachers around the world about remarkable classroom practices to inspire and help teachers. She is Mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world. Vicki Davis is a full-time classroom teacher and IT Director in Georgia, USA.
