My Take
Rather simplistic layout that could benefit from increased formatting options or interactive tools. As a whole the program does what it promises to do, pooling student thoughts together to create a "jamboard" able to be observed and instructed on by the whole class.
How I Use It
I used this resource as a lesson opener to help students visually observe class wide trends in thought. For example, as an opener to a lesson on perceptions of something you can have students list their initial thoughts about a concept and see what trends you observe across the class.

Great product for student engagement.
The students were super excited to share their experiences, views and read peer responses.

Good product. My customer service experience was not good at all.
Good teaching tool. It took over a year and a half to stop them from charging my bank card. I tried on three separate occasions to cancel the service, but they kept charging me in spite of my requests.

Easy access, engaging, visually appealing
The kids really like this. An excitement builds as my students watch it auto populate with their peers’ contributions to the padlet. It seems to entice even some of my more reluctant participators. On the student side of things, I like how intuitive the interface is, even for first time or less experienced users who might struggle with tech tools. I really like that my free account allows me to incorporate images from my own library. On the teacher side, I appreciate how even with the upgrades, the sharing/privacy considerations are easy to navigate. Downside: the new free account limitation of 3 padlets means that unless I pay, I have to delete Padlets forever to continue to use the tool after I have created 3 new padlets. The lowest cost subscription is now $8/month, which is too much in my estimation.
