Padlet
Padlet is a versatile and easy to use tool to promote collaboration among your students. Think of it like a virtual wall that allows users to share their thoughts using text, images, videos, documents, and more. It is easy for teachers to set up, share out and can be used on any device.
Book reviews, topic summaries, question walls, and student reflections are just a few ideas on how Padlet could be brought into your classroom.
