Community reviews for Padlet

I love it! I have used it for my middle and high school classes, as well as for my university courses. My coworkers have also adopted it in their courses, and they are enjoying it too.

The new Padlet has become my powerful go-to tool for just about all student-involved in virtual class activities because there are so many different options for engaging students, especially in online learning. The students are finding it easy to use, love the plethora of activities I've developed, and have even asked to do them in our live Meet classes.

Great tool to get kids talking about something.

I have padlets for each month, as well as corresponding padlets for each curricular unit. I love the way it looks - it's very easy and intuitive when I'm trying to map out my schedule. I also love how I can link multiple documents to each post so all of my materials for a day's lessons are easily accessible from one place.

Padlet is a versatile tool. I like how you can choose from the different format options, as well as being able to use it as a collaboration tool.

Padlet is a fantastic tool for fostering collaboration and creativity in the classroom. It allows students to share their ideas in an organized, visual format, making class discussions more dynamic and inclusive. To improve the experience, I plan to set clearer guidelines for posting, emphasizing respect and thoughtfulness. Additionally, I will incorporate more structured activities to channel students' creativity in a way that aligns with the learning objectives. Overall, Padlet has been a valuable addition to my class, and with some adjustments, I believe it will continue to enhance student learning and engagement.

Overall, it’s a great teaching tool. Students find it easy to learn. I like the fact that I can moderate the posts before they appear on the student’s screen. One option I would love to see would be a Mind map mode where students can add new ideas and extend thinking in a bubble map mode. Overall - one of my top three educational programs. :)

Padlet is my go to tool when I want my students to have an overview of what the class thinks.😊 I have just recently used the breakout feature and I love how they don’t get to see the other groups’ answers until I share the whole board and they get to see what they have in common.

As a first time user, I recommend setting your Padlet to "org only" so that you can see the name of the student that is posting it. Have them click "continue with Google" and use their school login into. I like the "wall" format of the posts. I also recommend my students use the video feature right on Padlet instead of recording it on their phone or computer and then uploading it. That ends up needing my approval before the rest of the class can see their post. To troubleshoot some common issues, I ask them to try different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) if things aren't working as expected the first time.

I've been using Padlet for many years and have loved it as a teaching tool. I've also given a few presentations about Padlet to faculty. I only wish it would integrate with our Canvas gradebook. That would have made life much easier, but I've kind of found a workaround and use it, but still, integrating with the grade book like Hypothesis does is very important.
