Padlet
Collaborate and share your ideas!
Simple, online bulletin board
Padlet is a virtual wall that allows people to share their thoughts easily. It works like an online bulletin board where students can post any content (images, videos, tex, documents) anywhere on the page, together with anyone, from any device. Only the teacher needs an account.
In The Classroom
Because Padlet works on any device, it is a great BYOD tool. Use it as part of your Every Student Responds activities, for a digital KWL chart, collaborative note-taking, a parking lot for questions, brainstorming, and organizing or classifying information.
