Abstract:
This quantitative study focuses on the efficacy of two Web 2.0 main tools, Padlet and
Nearpod, regarding the academic experiences of 11th and 12th graders at Future Learn School.
This study quantifies the learning curve by assessing the impact of Web 2.0 tools, specifically
Nearpod and Padlet, on collaboration skills, creativity, and self-regulatory behavior among high
school students. Through quantitative analysis, it evaluates how these tools influence various
aspects of the learning process, shedding light on their effectiveness in enhancing student learning
outcomes. The research yielded insightful results on using digital technology in teaching by
analysing whether digital technologies in education affect students' innovative thinking, teamwork
skills and self-regulation. In the study, 100 respondents took students' perspectives, elicited by
using Likert-scale meticulously crafted questionnaires that captured the intricate perceptions.
Using the supportive Stata software for data analysis, the research applied various statistical
methods such as t-tests. This was done to scrutinise the collected data. Therefore, the results are
insightful about the differing impacts of Padlet and Nearpod and provide suggestions for educators
and policymakers after integrating digital tools to maximise the learning outcomes of secondary
education.
