Padlet is a collaboration tool that allows posting to the one online page in a similar way to putting post it notes on a wall.
There are several ways for this page to 'look' and ways of using it are diverse.
Padlet is an online tool that both instructors and students can use to post to one page. It allows anyone with access to that particular Padlet to express their views on a topic as a 'note'. The posted notes can be text, videos, links to websites, images and files. Anonymous posting, comments, and voting on posts can be enabled. There are numerous ways of structuring the Padlet wall, including a timeline, an open wall, a stream, a grid, a shelf, a map, and a canvas. Students might be asked to build a timeline or a storyline, they might be asked to complete a predicting activity, or partake in collaborative note-taking. It might be used as a planning activity, to crowdsource knowledge, or for a presentation.
Padlet allows for collaboration and active learning in read time and engages students to work online in both face to face classes and during online learning, in both synchronous and asynchronous ways. Depending on the task set it can also be authentic. The university-wide license allows for an unlimited number of Padlets to be created. Padlet is so easy to use students don't need to sign up for Padlet in order to use it.
It's important to remember copyright when using Padlet.
