Netboard.me is a customizable, digital curation tool that allows you to collect and organize information in a virtual space, similar to Padlet. Netboard.me can be used to “create web pages with texts, links, documents, videos, photos, presentations, RSS feeds and other content” (Netboard.me, 2020, para. 1). In the settings, users can change the design, colors, text sizes, permissions, and other features on a virtual “netboard.” Netboard.me can also be used like a blog to create posts with user created text and images. Users can interact with likes and comments on netboards.

Netboard.me & the SAMR model

Dr. Ruben Puentedura’s SAMR model offers a lens for examining how technology is adopted in a classroom. As you strive to incorporate online tools into your classroom, we encourage you to use this model as an analytic tool. Here is are some examples of how Netboard.me might fit within the SAMR model:

• Substitution: Students create a list of their favorite online resources on a netboard instead of a google doc.
• Augmentation: Students create a netboard to curate and organize class materials in a digital space.
• Modification: Students use Netboard.me to create a multimodal digital portfolio of their work.
• Redefinition: Students share their multimodal virtual bulletin boards with people around the world and solicit feedback.

Learning Activities

Math

Students split up into groups and create a netboard. Students seek out resources, articles, games, or tools related to the current content being learned in class and post their findings on the group netboard. In their groups, students review and discuss each post on the netboard and select the most useful and engaging ones to share on a class netboard.

Science

As a teacher, you can create a netboard that has videos and descriptions of different science experiments. Have students discuss and vote on which science experiment they want to do in class. As students engage in the in-class experiment, they can take pictures, videos, and notes to add to the netboard to document their learning.

English/Language Arts

Students can curate videos, images, and sound bytes that captivate their interest onto a personal netboard and then use that as inspiration to write stories and poetry.

Digital Portfolio

Students can create an academic netboard that they use throughout the year so they have a virtual catalog of all their work. Encourage them to look back on it and to share it with their family and friends or even college admissions officers.
