Community reviews for Padlet

Overall, its a great tool that gives all students a voice especially for my ELL's who at times find themselves shy to speak during Socratic Seminars/ Classroom Discussions.

This is a tool that can be used individually/whole class/groups. It is easily accessible where you can customize a URL, embed it or generate a QR code directly from the site. Students do not need to sign in and can simply click on the pad to add their words to the padelt. I would say this can be used for all content areas and across a wide range of grades (K-12)

I like this teaching tool as yet another option for encouraging all students to participate in writing. I like its ease of use for posting. My concern is that students may respond inappropriately, where they may be able to post before I would have an opportunity to review their writing. My suggestion is allowing for a tool for teachers to be able to proof students' submissions before posting.

Overall, Padlet is one of my go-to tools for working with teachers and students. I like the ease of use and the customizable features. It's effectiveness really depends on the questions I ask or tasks, but this allows my Padlet to serve many varied uses in the classroom. When I share this with teachers, they love that it can be adapted to the needs of their individual classes and that it's platform agnostic too. If a teacher is using it consistently, it does take a little bit of upkeep, but no more than average. If wifi is slow, it can take a little bit for posts to pop up too.

I feel Padlet is one of those essential apps and programs that all educator should utilize from time to time. The educator should take great pains at the start to front-load expectations to students - you have editing access as the creator of each Padlet, but that doesn't mean some students might use the tool inappropriately. For students, it's a great way for them to express their ideas (via text, images, video, etc.). For educators, it allows for identifying what all students know rather than the one's that raise their hands in class.

I think is a wonderful, versatile website/app available to educators and students. It is very customizable and can be used in just about every subject area to provide resources on a topic or for students to post questions, findings, and add to a discussion from anywhere. Using padlet can allow students access to content at a moment's notice and available anywhere from a personal or school device! This is a great product and one I see being used more and more in the near future in and out of the education setting.

I love that it does not take long to teach the students how to use it and it can be used for so many things. The students can create their own Padlet and turn it, into you or you can create one and let them access it. We are always looking for ways to have students collaborate or share a thought and Padlet allows us to do that with ease. Padlet allows for the quiet student to have a chance to speak in a non threatening way. Depending on how you set up Padlet it can be anonymous or you can have the students identify themselves. Overall, Padlet is an amazing tool that all teachers should try!

I really like how it gets all students to engage and ups their participation. I think there are so many times where students coast through a lesson, not really engaging, but this tool can help guide them to greater participation.

Before Padlet, I would often have a hard time hearing from certain students, while others would constantly contribute. With Padlet, all are very involved and seem less inhibited. I love that students can share without feeling like things have to be formated perfectly. It's quick and takes very little time to get the students on and going. I find myself using it in the same capacity, but there are a TON of great ways to integrate this application. I encourage all educators to browse and see the awesome options that other educators have used to meld Padlet into their lessons.

This tool is a great tool for teachers to be able to get a quick response from students. The app can be used throughout a class period for hooks, lessons, exit tickets, etc. This app allows you to hold students accountable by having students write thoughts/responses rather than having students just think about something. This app is extremely quick and easy to create discussion boards. Multiple backgrounds are available to uses as well as options to include your own. The boards can be set up in an organized or free flowing fashion.
