This week, I added Padlet to my Wakelet collection after exploring it through "The 30 Tech Tools in 30 Days Challenge". Padlet is a collaborative platform that allows me, as a student to post notes on a digital board, enhancing interaction and engagement. This tool aligns perfectly with our readings on the importance of digital affordances in education. 
By fostering active learning and facilitating collaborative tasks, Padlet exemplifies how digital tools can transform traditional learning environments. Its user-friendly interface and versatile applications make it an excellent choice for promoting critical thinking and teamwork, as highlighted in our course materials.
