Padlet is a creative tool used to enhance the interactivity in teaching and learning processes.
Padlet tool can help teachers and students with an interactive notice board like space which is very easy to use and is easily accessible from any browser. In short; a creative and a great resource for both teachers and students.
You can use this digital notice board to feature images, links, videos, and documents, all collated on a “wall” and this wall can be made public or private. With this feature not only teachers but also students can post on the wall.
This is the best tool for collaborative projects which starts with a blank canvas and then users can start expressing their thoughts on a common topic and also read what others have to say.
It can be used for getting feedback. Individuals (and large/ small groups) can post their comments, questions and resources in one place that is easily accessible to everyone.

One has to bear in mind a few technical issues regarding use of Padlet tool. Each sticky note is limited to 150 characters.
Also, images heavy on text might not be legible, even in their zoom pop-windows.
If this is the case, viewers can find larger images by either right-clicking the image and saving it to their desktop, or enlarging the zoom view on the computer screen.
Sometimes, the site tends to become tied up and non-responsive because the Padlet fails to load properly.
However, the value of the tool should encourage users to be patient and hope for a more consistent service in future. Padlet is a simple tool, but one that can accentuate the best teaching practices teachers employ on a day- to- day basis. For students, carefully posed questions will allow them to respond in many ways which only helps classroom discussion.
So now it’s your turn! How are you planning to use Padlet? Let us know and contribute your ideas on this Padlet.
