Padlet

What is Padlet? 

Padlet is a virtual wall that allows people to express their thoughts on a common topic easily. It works like an online sheet of paper where people can put any content (e.g. images, videos, documents, text) anywhere on the page, together with anyone, from any device.

As it’s web based you can have students on computers or iPads all collaborating together. All you need to do is give your students the URL. 

Once signed in you have the following options:

Customise the wall title and description.

Customise the background (wallpaper).- By creating an image such as a KWL you can add it as the background to structure students comments. 

You can also choose how your posts will appear. Choose Freeform if you want students to be able to place posts in a chosen spot. e.g. label a map or in a KWL.

Use Grid if you don't want the posts overlapping and use stream for the most recent post to jump to  the top. Stream is a great way to have a blog experience without students having login’s. Use it for collaborative Chapter reviews for example.
