Padlet gives teachers a virtual cork board where anyone can post short text notes in the same way that you could put post-it notes onto a notice board in your classroom. Unlike a classroom board, the great thing about a Padlet board is that it can be shared between people all over the world! Or your class could use it to collaborate and share ideas outside of the classroom.
Ways to use Padlet

Use it as a backchannel tool where students can post comments and feedback on what they are learning.

Use is as a brainstorming tool. Create a Padlet wall for the whole class where they can collect and share ideas about a given topic.

Students can use it as portfolio where they display their best work.

You can use the classroom Padlet wall to post assignments and homework reminders to students.

Aggregate links and other multimedia resources relevant for students learning and post them on the classroom wall for everybody to check.

Use it as a resource review page where students post reviews of the resources they have used.

Students can use Padlet for sharing their reflections on what they have learned and what they need help with.

If you've always wanted to get started with it, I've produced a quick How to Guide to using Padlet. You can download it here.

If you're like me, Padlet has been a go-to tool for brainstorming, back channeling, collaborating, collecting ideas and media and even for portfolio building-well, forever.

Over the past few weeks one of our favorite platforms added some features that make it an even more powerful teaching and learning tool.
1. Formats
In addition to Wall, Stream and Grid, from the Create page, we now have two new Padlet formats.

The Shelf format: allows us to easily sort posts into columns, facilitating KWL charts, weekly planning, SWOT analyses, etc.

The Canvas format: allows us to move items around free-form style, facilitating, mind mapping, flow charts, process charts, organizational charts, etc.

It is super easy to convert a Padlet from one format to another, for instance to sort, or have kiddos sort, all those back channel comments into categories after a class, or event.
2. Templates
On the Create page, you will now also find a variety of Templates. So, instead of starting from scratch, you may be inspired by Padlets in the forms of mood boards, organizational charts, bookmarks, Q&A sessions, kanban (to do, doing, done) boards, KWL charts, video playlists, and storyboards. The Padlet folks encourage users to suggest additional templates.

Here's a template of an organizational chart using the Canvas format:
3. Focus mode 4. Inline reading
The new Focus Mode features allows you to examine updates at your own convenience without seeing incoming posts jumping around to distract you and others viewing. This is very handy when you expect input from larger groups-say at conferences and events-or even from a class and when you kinda want things to be static for a few minutes. You'll get the little message below and you can simply refresh your Padlet when you are ready to view the updates.

The Inline Reader feature conveniently allows you to read stories from more than 50,000 websites without having to leave your Padlet. Inline also works with embedded audio and video.

And there's more.
