The Most Important Mission: Endangered Species

    One of the biggest problem in todays' world is endangered species. With my seven other friends we wanted to introduce this problem through padlet. It was due to our lessons' group project.
    For the first step one of my seven friends Gamze opened a padlet page for us. After this with my other friends we sing up for the padlet. It was the easiest project that I've ever done.
    After we decided our group project every one of us started to search about endangered species. We were carefull because we didn't want to write same things and use the same data. While searching for endangered species I realize that the biggest harm to the nature and animals was given by us, humans.
Looking all those cute and innocent animals made me more aware of the situation and the danger. Because hurting those beautifull animals, actually means hurtig ourselves and the nature. As the future teachers we should be aware of the dangers and we should shape our future accordingly.
   Using the padlet was the easiest thing to do. Because it is very easy and usefull. There is nothing complicated with it! And for 21st century skills that children must have, it is very useful. Children can share what they want easily, write each other comment and find useful materials for the subject matter. I highly recommend the padlet for education!
