If you have used a sticky note you can relate to the concept of Padlet. It is a great tool for students to collaborate and share information. You can post all kinds of digital content on the wall to share ideas or brainstorm.

I have just mentored a group through their PYP exhibition, if I had known of Padlet then it would have been great. Thanks for the idea, excellent tool for collaboration.

Yes I also love using 'Padlet'. It's so versatile and effective. We will be using this tool later on in our MOOC "ICT in Primary Education.

Teaching is changing. It is no longer simply about passing on knowledge to the next generation. Teachers in the 21st century, in all educational sectors, have to cope with an ever-changing cultural and technological environment. Teaching is now a design science. Like other design professionals - architects, engineers, town planners, programmers - teachers have to work out creative and evidence-based ways of improving what they do. But teaching is not treated as a design profession. Every day, teachers design and test new ways of teaching, using learning technology to help their learners. But their discoveries remain local. By representing and communicating their best ideas as structured pedagogical patterns, teachers could develop this vital professional knowledge collectively. Teacher professional development has not embedded in the teacher's everyday role the idea that they could discover something worth communicating to other teachers, or build on each others' ideas. Could the culture change? From this unique perspective on the nature of teaching, Diana Laurillard argues that a 21st century education system needs teachers who work collaboratively to design effective and innovative teaching.

In my opinion the most important thing is -given teaching will be treated as a collective design science- learning about how to apply new ways of teaching on our individual children. The newest would probably not always be the best and what worked in other schools elsewhere might not work in your own school. So let´s also stress how to individualize collective knowledge again and break it down to everyday usable teaching aid that we can evaluate.

I totally agree with your opinion about education, specially when you talk about collaborative work among teachers to help our students build knowledge .THank you
