So easy to use, an adult can do it!
Padlet is a great tool to share ideas with a group. Your "board" can be formatted so that notes can be arranged manually or they can be automatically arranged in chronological order. It's so simple to setup and add to it, there is next to no learning curve on this digital tool.

Padlet scores big to facilitate brainstorming, collaboration, documentation and classification.
I was introduced to Padlet as an electronic bulletin board, but that sells it short. It can be used to brainstorm, collaborate, document and classify. It takes only moments to set up a board and students can begin to contribute just as quickly. With the ability to create custom urls and / or embed the created board into a website using Padlet is not cumbersome. It can be further customized to logos and backgrounds appropriate to the task at hand.
One of the most usable features in Padlet is the ability to dictate the layout of the board. It can be either "freeform" (notes all over the place) or "stream" (in order top to bottom). Different layouts may support certain assignments better than others.
Another feature worth taking advantage of is the Google Integration. If your school is a Google Apps For Education user (as my school is) students can log into boards by using their Google Accounts so that there are no extra passwords. If the board requires / suggests that students contribute to the board anonymously this can still occur--students can simply erase their name from their account.
Padlet is so easy to use that it is quickly becoming my go to tool. I haven't even made use of the ability to add multimedia to the boards yet. I expect I'll be doing that soon.
I see posting an image or video clip in the center of the board with a question or two for students to answer (as part of classwork or to facilitate a flipped classroom).
Why not share the fun and have students create their own boards as well?

An interactive bulletin board that gives all students a voice.
Padlet is a great tool that can be used for formatively assessing your students. It allows all students to have a voice. Teachers can easily determine students understanding of a topic. It can be used during class or after class as an exit ticket. Another benefit is teachers can share a link to the wall or embed it on their website.

User-friendly, versatile and open-ended tool for resource curation or student work/thoughts.
Padlet is a great resource for both teachers and students. It is an online bulletin board but has a great visual feel. You are able to add various types of media, move around the pieces on the board and have students add their sticky notes at the same time.

Collaborating made easy!
Using Padlet has made understanding and synthesizing easy for my students. We are able to work together to develop understanding of topics through visual pictures. Seeing the others understanding helps my students develop their own understanding in real time!
