Padlet as an Educational Tool

I honestly feel like this tool could be an invaluable tool in relaying important things to learners; you could place important articles to be read, tutorials in my case in PE, the options are limitless. You can also have the learners use it as a virtual portfolio. I would've looked forward to logging on and using Padlet everyday if I was a student.

Ease of Use

I didn't even have to watch a tutorial or anything, the ease of use/learning curve was very minimal. Things like this are very important; in my district there are many older educators, new things can cause them a lot of stress, and I've spent countless time showing them how to do seemingly simple things. Anyone can pick up Padlet and figure it out.

Free vs Paid

My guess is that the paid version allows you to use more columns, something that is crucial if you're going to use Padlet for the entirety of a semester or year, but the tool is so useful that not having anything but the paid version would be selling yourself short. The push for the district to supply educators with the paid version would be monstrous.
