For this inquiry, I implemented the use of Padlet into my LiveClass lessons.
I learned how to implement Padlet successfully within lessons.

For classroom practice I already use Padlet as part of our classroom practice. I will continue to use Padlet for our “Hoover Hub” resource center.
For future inquiry/ILP I may be able to use Padlet as a way to further my teaching practices in future inquiry & ILPs.

Other Notes
Individualized Learning Plan, Fullerton Online Teacher Induction Program (FOTIP), 2017 Page 3 of 5
NOTE: Being an independent study school, data for all students was hard to
collect. My students are only required to attend LiveClasses at least once per
week, meaning they do not have to attend all classes. This means I often had
students absent and/or not present in LiveClass.
