FYSM 129: Acts of Adaptation (Incampo): Make a Research Inventory

Make a Research Inventory with Padlet

To keep track of our research today, we will create resarch inventories using a digital tool called Padlet.

Why make a research inventory?

Research inventories can help you:

• Keep track of everything you find 
• Organize your sources into different categories
• Make connections between sources 

Add Notes to Your Padlet

• Record each source you find by adding a note to your Padlet board.
• Click the plus sign in the bottom right corner of your Padlet board to create a new note.

• Start by adding a title and some text to your note (see above).
  • The text should include a citation for the source.
• You can also add media to your note, like files, links, photos, and more (see below).
  • For articles, consider uploading a PDF to your note.
  • For websites or videos, add a link to your note.
• When you're done, click the publish button to add the note to your Padlet board.
