PADLET                                https://padlet.com         This is a quick and easy tool to learn, yet it offers a wide variety of uses. Students, parents and colleagues can use Padlet to get feedback, collaborate, communicate, and complete assignments. I really like it because it is easy to use and you can see students responses quickly. Teachers can use Padlet as a KWL preview to a unit.  Padlet could be used at the first of the year for a "Get to Know You Board". Students could write about their favorite subjects, hobbies, and foods. It could be used as a place for students to post their "muddiest" point about a lesson, or teachers could post resources and URL's to a Padlet for students to use for a project. As they do research they could also post sites with good information.
