My Take
This is really simple to set up and use. I like it because there is no log in. It would be nice if there were fun ways to group certain stickies together.
How I Use It
In global projects, we use this for our students to brainstorm ideas for research. Very easy to use with no log in, but if anything unexpected happens, we don't know who did it.

Fantastic for research project (replaces those index cards that students lose!)
Fantastic! I would absolutely use this with 6-12 grade students. It could be overwhelming for students in K-4.
Students were quite exited, as well as I, when they realized they could customize their board with a new background and colored stickies. Great way to get students excited about organization!

Quick and easy collaboration with great possibilities to dig deeper.
By allowing for individual or small groups to make their own open ended comments, this tool very naturally differentiates. It also allows for real reflection and collaboration that typical class discussions or other online tools don't do as well. Other possible uses include class note taking or mind-mapping. Overall, I see this facilitating some really high-level thought.

Digital Bulletin Board with Collaboration Options: best for older students
I have used Padlet which is a similar tool from the teacher's perspective, but it has a few more options that are important like working on a "pad" without logging in. I was able to make QR codes for public pad on Padlet and users just scanned the QR code and were able to start adding to it. With Lino, I was never able to make this work...if it is possible, I wasn't able to ever find the setting to adjust to make it so. I also am just hesitant to recommend using this without quite a lot of structure since posts are public and immediate. Teachers can delete other's posts, which is important, but I would expect some silliness and possible poor choices when a tool like this is used for the first time. Clear expectations for students will help greatly!
