Digital Gallery Walk

written by Kristen Harms// posted by Elegan Kramer

During a Gallery Walk or a Poster Walk, students get up out of their seats and circulate the room. They look at images, text and/or student work and identify what they see, think, and wonder.  There may be discussion at each of the posters or students may write thinking or questions around the edge of the poster.  Students have time to reflect at each station, build on each others’ ideas, write clarifying questions, agree or disagree, and provide feedback.  Students may also complete a “See, Think, Wonder” graphic organizer as they progress through the gallery.

Use one of the tools below for students to view the image or artifact and decide how they will note their thinking.  You can also prepare questions, images, videos, etc. that you would like students to respond to during the gallery walk and post them to the tool that students will use for the gallery walk such as Padlet or Flipgrid.

Each slide can be a new image or artifact or multiple Slideshows can be added to a shared Drive.   Students can write their thinking on the slideshow in text boxes or on a separate document.  Example Video

Each frame can be a new image or artifact or multiple Jamboards can be added to a shared Drive. Students can drag, drop, draw, type, and insert images into the frame.

Teachers can create their own image to put into the padlet or the teacher can provide specific artifacts or links. Students can mark their thinking or questions on the Padlet.
