  • For younger classes, use it as a portfolio to share with parents. Snap pictures of student work and share them.
  • Richard Byrne says you can use it almost as a blog.
  • Have a class Padlet and put the links to everything else in it. Set the student web browsers to start with that page. If you set it to flow, the work is already at the top. Students will know quickly what they are doing that day.
  • Have kids sort pictures on Padlet to classify them (and use the Interactive White Board (IWB)).
  • Use it as a class backchannel and have discussions on it.
  • Have students work a problem, and snap a picture of how they worked it.

Bell ringer activity — Ask students what they remember from the previous day’s lesson. The ensuing page should summarize what still needs to be taught and should serve as a good place for students to review content.

    2. Predicting activity — As you proceed through new content with students, stop and let them predict what will happen next with notes on a Padlet. Later, refer to the Padlet to see how close students’ guesses were.

    3. Collaborative notetaking — While listening to a presentation, students can work together to add notes to a Padlet to produce a resource they can refer to later. This also works with staff meetings!

    4. Event planning — If you’re planning a class party or a field trip, all of the information can go on a Padlet, including photos of the destination, a list of who’s bringing what, links to pertinent websites and more.

    5. Living webquest — Webquests have been static webpages that included links to sites and questions. They often didn’t change. Students can create a living webquest where new links are added continually. You can create questions at the end of the activity to the links available at that time.
