I have used Padlet to enable students to share ideas and research with each other. Students have posted scientific videos and sports leadership videos that they have used to enhance the classroom learning. Through padlet, students were able to gain access to many valuable videos, diagrams, and interactive websites to supplement classroom activities.

use Padlet as a digital portfolio.  My thought was to give each child a "key" (actual key-shaped bookmark with a QR code on it to take students directly to their portfolios) so they could post projects, thinking, plans, and more onto the page throughout the year.  I was going to password protect each as well.  This would allow parents to visit the portfolio whenever they wanted and it would be private.  I think this would be an easy and protected way for teachers to gather artifacts of student progress.

We have used padlet in a faculty meeting before.  I have not used it in class but see the benefit to it's uses.  Padlet seems like you could use it as a ticket to leave, to brainstorm ideas, to have discussions, and I like the idea of using as a parent communication.  I am going to look into this program more

In Kindergarten, we can use Padlet to communicate with the parents. The parents can post ideas and ask questions regarding upcoming school activities and events. This would be helpful as many of our parents have the same questions!

I like using Padlet, in Kindergarten, to communicate with my parents. I can post the students' work and let the parents comment back. This is a fun way to share ideas with the parents. The parents can post different ideas or questions they have for me. This app can also be used as a mini art gallery.

I currently am using Padlet mainly for parent-teacher communication. I think it is a wonderful tool to share and collaborate with parents. We recently did an activity in class, and I took pictures of the students doing the activity and their finished product and created a padlet that I shared with parents. Parents can share and post ideas and feedback on the work. It fosters an excellent realm of communication and camaraderie. I love how it can keep various activities/events organized! :)  Lacey Chimienti

My favorite way to use padlet is in the beginning of the year to help me learn 130 faces and names.  It also gives the students a chance to learn their classmates names and what they enjoy.  I have also used it as a resource for students and myself to share different ways we all enjoy working out, specific workouts we enjoyed and want others to try, and as a motivational tool to encourage each other.  It is an ongoing board for them that changes depending on what we are discussing that week in class.  It is mostly a tool for sharing thoughts and ideas based on our current topic.

We use Padlet in the PE classroom when we finish a sports unit, asking students what they learned, in which area of the unit they liked the best, which skill did the struggle on.  This helps us with student learning by seeing which skills need to be focused on more (many of the same skills are needed for multiple sports).  Padlet gives student a voice by allowing them to speak through technology sharing their ideas.

I'm thinking it would be a great visual for character traits.  I am encouraging my students to think being "good, bad, and nice"  and to use more descriptive words.  The students could use padlets to share words that more precisely describe various characters.

Use Padlet for quick comprehension checks in all subject areas.  I have also used it for group work.  I like how the Padlet responses can be monitored from a teacher computer.  I have found that students complete better work when they know other students can see what they are writing.  Each student is able to respond to a question and be held accountable for their understanding.

Use Padlet for book discussions. I have assigned groups to do a study on various characters through out a story and to post their character observations and descriptions to the Padlet wall for all students to see.

I have used Padlet as a means of collecting information on what my students know about particular topics. For example, when I was working with 3rd graders I had them write about what they learned about the parts of a plant. They then posted a picture of themselves with their explanation.

Padlet is a great tool for students in foreign language to communicate with one another and provide feedback. It's a way to create a digital chalkboard that can be saved, edited and enhanced with images as well.

I use Padlet as an exit ticket to summarize the learning from the day. It is a powerful tool to see other students ideas and thoughts in an interactive way. They can also include links or other media to illustrate their learning from the day. Padlet allows students who do not normally share their thoughts in the classroom to become an active part of the classroom environment. The ability for the students to work anonymously is especially important in the middle school classroom, as the "cool factor" of answering questions in front of the class seems to diminish. To have all student responses in one place instead of on post it's allowed me to organize each class periods thoughts in one space.

I've already used Padlet twice in my class. I used it as an introduction to the class and had students post an influential quote so we could start analyzing purposeful language use. Also, after another lesson I had students post a real-world application to Padlet making connections to the skill/material learned in class. The students enjoyed using Padlet!

A fun and easy way I have already used padlet was with my "getting to know you" activity in the beginning of the year.  I gave each student a small bag of M&M's and created a padlet that had the directions for the activity posted on it.  Students had to answer a different question about themselves for each colored M&M they had in their bag and post it to the class padlet.  Questions ranged from favorite songs, foods, sports, etc.   With the students posting this information, they were able to learn information about their classmates (great for our new students).  When relating the math to their lives, I often look back at the padlets and try to create problems that are centered around their interests.

I am looking forward to using  Padlet as an information bulletin board for parents.  First grade is planning a field trip later this month and are planning to share the trip with parents.  Along with photos we'll take, parents will be asked to share their pictures as well.  Thanks Cara for this great idea!

During Math time constraints limit our discussions. Padlet could be used to let students share their alternative methods with the class and let other students try them, comment on them, and encourage them to share their own ideas.  I often learn from my students new ways to view problems.

Padlet is a wonderful app that allows students to post their thoughts or feelings about a certain topic.  They may also organize facts about a topic or open up a discussion about that topic.  This supports student's learning by making their ideas concrete and visible to each other.  Students may have their voice be heard by creating their own padlets to gather information from others about a topic they are researching or care a lot about.  Padlets help organize any and everyone's thoughts and feelings into clear, separated, visible boxes.  These boxes give the user a space to write a topic/name or descriptions/answers.

I used padlet as a get to know you activity at the beginning of the year.  The students were instructed to take a selfie, and list 2 truths and a lie.  Then they rest of the class needed to try and find which one was a lie.  The students really enjoyed the activity.

I have used Padlet in many ways but my favorite lesson was one where students were asked to " read like historians". They were given several pieces of text that included timelines as well as direct quotes and two different historians' perspectives. Students had to generate a hypothesis and decide which historian's account was most convincing. The discussion was done on a Padlet wall where everyone could see all perspectives immediately.

A way I want to use it in the future is to create a "ThinkLinK" kind of page where it is filled with information for students to explore or research from.  I could have a QR code for students to go directly to the page and then they could explore pictures, video links, and more straight from that page.  Great teaching tool that I haven't explored...

I use Padlet to have students write compliments about other students artwork. It gives the students an opportunity to participate using the iPad and it gives the ability for students to write something instead of saying it. Children are happy when they see what others write. I also use it as a discussion board where students can write questions and I can give feedback and provide answers. Students are able to communicate with each other and give their opinions.

I... LOVE... PADLET!  I've been using it for about 3 years now.  There are SO many ways to use Padlet in the classroom.  I think my favorite is using it to build a bridge between school and home.  Whether it is a Padlet for field trip reflections and photo displays, parent compliment boards (ex. "Wall of Love" during writer's celebrations), topic brainstorming, readers' response boards, or a digital art gallery with gallery descriptions, Padlet has endless possibilities.  A couple of my favorite features are 1) You can create your own URL; 2) You can password protect the page!  All this tech is great, but privacy can sometimes make parents a little unsettled so password protection is always a bonus, especially when it is a FREE feature!

We have been using Padlet for most of the school year in my class. We have used it to set goals for each quarter, brainstorming for writing prompts, and class discussions. When brainstorming students were able to see their classmates' ideas, which allowed them to broaden their own understanding of the topic. Some of the students I work closely with sometimes feel their answers are not correct and therefore don't often participate in class discussions. Using Padlet allows them to contribute their ideas anonymously, thus giving them each a voice in the class.

Padlet, also allows me to get a quick read on how well students understand a topic or lesson. Recently, we have been working on paraphrasing when note taking. I post a phrase and the students must rephrase that phrase in their own words using synonyms. It is interesting to see how they each can take one phrase and say it differently. It provides a different perspective for each of them, while also allowing me to see who understands the concept and who may need assistance.

I have utilized padlet within my classroom with writing and class discussions.  It has been helpful for sharing a thesis sentence, a hook, introduction, conclusion, etc.  This is a great way to "share out" with all of the students at the conclusion of the lesson.  It is also a great way to edit and give feedback quickly to several students.
