Padlets can be as simple or as involved as you would like to make them. The important thing is to get started simply, then build to a more complex use as you and your student get more comfortable with it.

For a very quick sample of how to create a lesson, scroll down. I have placed a YouTube clip and a series of questions on this Padlet. If I had a student, I could send it to her, she could answer the questions, and I could even record my voice responding to her answers.

When you click on the three dots at the far right, you will get more options inclduing "change format," which will dictate how the element boxes "behave." Experiment with how these different formats display your material to find the one that is most suitable for the lesson that you are working on with your student.

"Share or Embed" is another helpful option here. This is where you will set the privacy controls so that your student can view and edit the work.

The options for designing the look of your Padlet are available in the upper right hand side of your screen.

Clicking on the gear icon will allow you to modify the Padlet: background, URL, icon (like the glasses smiley I have on this one), font, etc.

To get started quickly, simply click the plus sign in the lower right hand corner of your screen.

A small window will pop up, prompting you to add a title and text. There are options at the bottom of the window, for uploading pictures or other files from your device; adding a link to a website; searching for elements; turning on your device's camera to take a photo or video; and an expanded menu of options.
