Padlet

Using Padlet as a KWL chart:

Padlet can be used to create a KWL chart that students can contribute to anonymously (or not anonymously if you want them to sign-in). Create a wall, make it public, and ask students to share what they know and what they want to know about a topic. If you allow anonymous posting you might get contributions from shy students who might not otherwise speak-up in class. Of course, if you allow anonymous commenting you should have a conversation with your students about what an appropriate comment looks like. (You could also turn on moderation and approve all notes before they appear). Padlet works well when projected for all students to see.

Using Padlet for group research:

After a lesson or group discussion have students search online for more information or examples of the lesson. Create a "wall" for students to add their findings. Text, videos and images can be uploaded and commented on.

Using Padlet as a showcase of your students’ work:

If your students are creating digital portfolios, creating slideshows, or producing videos you could use Padlet to display all of your students’ best work on one page. Create the wall, call it something like “my best work this year,” and have your students post links to their works.
