PADLET IS SUPER!!!

I liked Padlet, because it’s a free application to create an online bulletin board that you can use to display information for any topic. Easily create an account and build a new notice-board. You can add images, links, videos, and more. Settings allow I can make my wall completely open for public contributions, completely private, or moderated by me.  This is a device-agnostic tool, available on the web but also available for free as both an Android and iOS app. I can use it from any device or move between several devices and still access my work.

Using this tool collaboratively is very easy. The tool does not show which work is attributable to which student, however. I can use as a place to collect web quest links and information. By leaving the wall open to comments, solicit input, discussions, or viewpoints from students.

In Padlet I want to assign a student project where students choose their theme and design a wall around it. For example, students  can create a wall about their summer vacation. They can include pictures, audio or video, links, and other information to display and use as a new format for book reports. They can create a wall around these favorites or hobbies, use a wall for grammar or vocabulary words, create walls for debates or viewpoints, post assignments, reminders, or study skills on a wall.
