Padlet
Description:
Padlet allows users to collect information and pin it onto a virtual bulletin board. Videos, text, links and images can be dragged and dropped onto the board on virtual sticky notes.
What We Like:
- Free
- No student account needed
- Intuitive and easy to use
- Simple, fun way to collaborate and collect information
- Data is saved online and can be easily shared
- Can upload custom backgrounds
Limitations:
- Semi-private by default, so an extra step is needed for total privacy
- Allows students to enter stickies anonymously (potentially bad, but could be advantageous to shy/introverted students, too)
- Students are able to move each other’s sticky notes around on the board
Classroom Application:
Brainstorm ideas for a project.
Book Circles for students to answer questions/share thoughts.
