Links, videos, images, comments...Just post it on Padlet!
Padlet is pretty intuitive for the students to navigate and create content. This could be a great way of students sharing content with classmates and teachers without flooding email. It's very interactive and students enjoy being able to share and discuss. there are character limits. The delete option is only available for the person who created the post or the teacher. At times, Padlet may require the teacher to go in and maneuver and manage the posts a little bit.

Solid repository to collect thinking and resources.
This is a great and simple tool. The simplicity allows kids to get in, look around, and hop out relatively quickly. Great for an additional digital tool for the 21st century classroom.

running up to the board... where ever you are.
This online app is only what you make it..... a wonderfully intuitive and easy to use blank slate. We have finally gotten into the chrome book, google accounts for all setup, so students are able to collaborate in whole new ways. It is still early for me/us, but it fits into an ongoing problem>solutions process we do. I envision many students latching on to this tool as a new way of starting and entering classroom 'conversations'.... which is huge!
I didn't rate it high with numbers only because it does not provide any content.

A quick and lively way to engage and share student responses.
Padlet (formally Wallwisher) is a quick and lively way to engage and share student responses. Padlet doesn't require registration, which makes this a great "on the fly" activity, especially if students have the ability to scan a QR Code. However, I recommend taking the time to create the free account -- this allows time to set up a board, customize backgrounds and think about how students will access the resources. Padlet has incorporated the use of social media and the ability to save and print. It is much easier to share the board than to create private boards. I suggest using an account to help protect student privacy, as well as assigning students a number instead of using their names.

Padlet is an easy to use tool for collecting synchronous, collaborative work.
Padlet, at it's simpliest, is an online whiteboard, accessible from multiple computers at the same time. Best of all, it is free and an account is not necessary for use. Students can add content to the board at any time (depending how you set the security). Information added shows up instantly, allowing students to share and collaborate seamlessly. Text, images, files, and links can be added to a 'note' on the page.

Great tool to show what kids already and what they have learned.
This tool is a great online post it note board. The students can add a note to a board I create in a minute's time. The board updates in real time and the students can see each other's posts. The updates aren't instantaneous, but if you just refresh, the whole board will update. Be sure that students know exactly how you want their notes labeled, especially if you are using this for a grade or participation. You want to make sure that everyone is accounted for!

Easy way to create on online gallery for elementary classes
I'd been looking for a way to create an online gallery for my students to share their work. Padlet is easy and allows us a way to use technology to show our class creations. I love that students can post to the wall for me to approve. I love the ways to customize each page. It isn't super fancy, but it is easy and useful.

Simple to integrate into lessons, tremendously userfriendly
The value of the tool is based upon thoughtful teacher lesson planning. It is flexible and can be used in countless ways. The power of Padlet is that you have a place that collects the entire classroom "community" of ideas - it supports group learning.

Collect feedback, formative data, and flip your instruction without the hassle of learners logging in! Useful for elementary - adult learners
I think padlet is a great tool for gathering and sharing information and ideas. It is like a collective cork board where you can post virtual sticky notes that can be shared or embedded in emails and websites. You have the option of embedding live links, videos, or pictures on each virtual "sticky note" on a padlet wall, so you have the ability to collaboratively 'pin up' multimedia on a virtual cork board that you can share with anyone in the world. This capability allows you to use this tool as a simple way to flip instruction by pinning informative and instructional videos and links in one place for students or teachers to reference, and they don't need a login to watch or post to a padlet wall you have created.
