Padlet is a virtual bulletin board created online (not an app).  You create it and your students post to it.  Think of poster paper and sticky notes.  The uses are endless.  I love to use it in my classroom as an exit ticket activity--or even just to check in.  I also use it in my professional development trainings.  I found a great visual with lots of ideas from @simplysuzy and http://blogs.falmouth.k12.ma.us/simplysuzy/2014/02/02/padleting-together/.  Give this a try, you will love it!

"Non-fiction texts govern as much as 90% of the reading and writing done by literate adults and comprise more than 70% of standardized assessments." -Tony Stead and Linda Hoyt If you haven't heard of Newsela, I am about to make your day.  While reading adoptions are providing more non-fiction reading choices, there are just not enough. Newsela is your solution. It provides a huge library of well-written current event articles at 5 different reading levels. So, the entire class is reading about the same information, just at each student's individual Lexile reading level!  As the teacher, you can assign certain articles (and reading levels) to certain students.  Each student can then take a quiz on his/her reading. All of this is free to use.  If you wish to pay for the pro subscription, you have even more options.  Amazing!
