What is it?
Padlet is simply an application that we can use to create an online bulletin board where we can display any information and topics. It acts like a board where you post sticky notes but digitally.Teachers can use Padlet to share notes and conduct lessons through online.

Usage
Teachers can use Padlet as a way of sharing notes but making a Padlet wall and post on it so that the students can easily see them for reference and such. Teachers can also assign students with homework through the Padlet wall such as asking them to search on a topic like 'Interesting Places to Visit' and each students need to post their findings on the wall.This will also allow students to ask questions annonymously so that they will not feel scared of being ridiculed by their peers.

Advantage
One advantage of using this app is that it has a very friendly interface that encourages you to use it even if you are not tech savy.

Disadvantage
The disadvantage of using Padlet is that the fonts provided is limited so there's not much that can be used.

How easy to use
I give Padlet a 5/5 of how easy it is to use it as there are not many features that we need to know in order to make use of it.

Usefulness
Padlet is 4/5 of its usefulness for as if we do not have that good of an internet connection, we cannot videos that has been put on the Padlet wall.

Overall, I quite like Padlet though I will use it fully in my own teaching lesson.
