  • When you get your group, one of you needs to create an account with www.padlet.com. You will create a padlet wall in order to brainstorm ideas for a PARTY! You will collaborate online by adding information to this padlet from your separate computers. For the next two weeks, we will be working on a project surrounding the ideas you come up with for this party so make it good!!  Things you need to come up with are listed on the board.
