What is Padlet?

Padlet is an online “virtual bulletin board” where students and teachers can collaborate, reflect,  & share links/pictures in a secure location.  Padlet is available across all devices, so engaging  students is super-simple.  Additions to the board are visible in real-time & changes are saved automatically.  The days of asking for Post-it Notes are gone, thanks to Padlet!

Example

Here’s an example of how one teacher used Padlet to collect a summary sentence of “what was learned” by each student, as well as a means to find out what students still found confusing.
