  • The walls are semi-private by default. Padlet involves extra steps to ensure complete privacy for student users. 
  • The web version is different from its ipad version. 
  • If a class is logged into one account, Padlet will not show which work is attributable to which person. Vandalism can easily take place since anyone that is part of the group can change the contents written.
