ABE: Adult Basic Education

In this activity, students give their opinions on a current/controversial issue by writing notes on a Padlet wall as part of a pre-writing/brainstorming activity. The teacher then leads a class activity in which each note is read and grouped with notes that share a similar view of the particular issue. The teacher or students physically move the notes on an interactive whiteboard or computer and projector and discuss the various arguments that have been made.

PIXIR is a powerful image tool that students can use without logging on. For this activity, we are only going to use the filter menu to learn how to work with filters and effects. This works as well on the computer as on a mobile device.
