Anonymous data can be shared if people have feedback which they think it important but feel like they do not want to be identified, particular if the feedback is negative/ critical of the course. ]]> 2019-02-25 16:31:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/334943131 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/335302796 I like this idea, you can read as many (or as few) different peoples thoughts and feedback. It depends on how honest and open the participants are as to whether this works well. I am usually very open on pages like this so I feel I benefit from them a lot.
As Dave has metioned, its great it can be anonymous if there are any sensitive topics or negative feedback.]]> 2019-02-26 11:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/335302796 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/335571304 A great tool for getting a feel of how your teaching has been received by students. Students could be prompted to post in the closing minutes of a teaching session providing the tutor with instant feedback:the tutor can reflect while the session is still fresh and make notes on how to improve before the next delivery. The anonymity aspect encourages the students to be brutally honest.... ]]> 2019-02-26 18:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/335571304 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/336336608 The speed and simplicity of a tool like Padlet could be a really useful evaluation tool.

- You could ask students quick fire questions on the learning content, to guage understanding
- You could ask for feedback directly
- Objective measures like number of contributions/contributors to padlet could give you some idea about student engagement
The option for anonimity could encourage learners to contribute to all of these examples.]]> 2019-02-28 11:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/336336608 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/336521467 This is quirky, anonymity has its pros and cons, good for building a community and promoting discussions/interactions (Gillysalmon re:referance), provides option for drop in and add that isnt time dependent building a constructive understanding collaboratively. ]]> 2019-02-28 17:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/336521467 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/336796861 Evaluation is a key tool in any teaching. This allows students to see others feedback before commenting themselves which can be both good and bad, it may jog someones memory and so provide better, honest feedback, or you can just copy others and not put in any independent thought. ]]> 2019-03-01 11:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/336796861 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/336922642 I think this would be great for brainstorming or collecting multiple ideas and thoughts. It would be good as an evaluation tool to get honest and open feedback with the added element of anonymity for those who would feel more comfortable with that.
A quick look at the additional features suggest some real versatility to this tool including the option to upload files, links, photos etc. ]]> 2019-03-01 16:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/336922642 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337258750 Similar to Charlotte, I think that this would be a good way of brainstorming ideas as a group. I also thought that it could be useful to have at the end of a module as a way of students asking questions to the tutor- as you are able to see if someone has asked the same question and therefore you don't need to repeat it and some students may want to remain anonymous if they are asking a questions that they feel they should already know the answer to, or are less confident than other learners. ]]> 2019-03-03 18:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337258750 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337266597 Think this is a great tool - again another one I did not know existed but can immediately see how it could be incorporated into how I teach. I echo comments about how useful it would be in terms of gaining feedback (especially as it can be anonymous!)]]> 2019-03-03 19:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337266597 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337404362 The anonymity feature of this is what jumps out at me first - opens up the possibility like others have commented for open/honest feedback I think if promoted correctly. 
I think in this environment you might also be able to receive less generic feedback that you usually get on paper/survey monkey type forms. Even though you are anonymous you are able to see others - can inspire confidence in a safe place. ]]> 2019-03-04 10:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337404362 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337464422 I actually used padlet last year as a paediatric teaching fellow - the paediatric consultants would pose a question such as a case/chest Xray and invite the students to answer. They also had the option of remaining anonymous or adding their name. I think this meant they were more inclined to answer questions and felt less worried about getting it wrong. ]]> 2019-03-04 14:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337464422 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337535047 2019-03-04 16:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337535047 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337710739 Can see how it would be useful for learner and teacher 
Especially for getting quieter students voice heard - i presume this could be used in real time to pose questions as well as queries that arise during a period of study
Could be a useful evaluation method, but i do have the concerns raised by Joe about copying others and the same good or "bad" areas are overrepresented]]> 2019-03-04 23:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337710739 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337859492 2019-03-05 12:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337859492 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337859960 By remaining anonymous there's more opportunity for misuse/misbehaviour too though... see that terrible rainbow in the middle for example.]]> 2019-03-05 12:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337859960 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337862046 I think Padlet can have mutliple uses, feedback/evaluation seems the most suited, but as others have said using it for questions, round ups and brainstorming also works. Both during sessions and after.
I also wonder whether having this up and open during a session may help interaction, you could post questions immediately, or even tell the presenter to speed up/slow down or take a break!
As others have mentioned I also worry about the cut and paste ethos it may create, and whether anonymity is always a good thing.]]> 2019-03-05 12:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/337862046 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/338186322 have never used this before but very impressed. Have read previous responders and agree. very versatile & creative - love the rainbow! but seriously, it means posts/responses can include a variety of formats, a picture can speak a 1000 words (?). great that it can be anonymous or not for feedback & evaluation, brainstorming. Following on from Joe & Helen, being able to see previous posts may bias a new poster towards those views leading to over-representation (this post being a prime example!). re: feedback I wonder if there is the option for posts to be initially be hidden from eachother & only the teacher/administrator see? and once all commented make posts public? may reduce the initial "copying" effect?]]> 2019-03-06 00:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/338186322 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/338596913
Is it just like a 'letter box' where people can post qustions? 
I am thinking to ask students that come to us for 4 weeks rotations to put things on it after 2 weeks. It would enable them to raise issues easily and anonymously and we could address them to improve for the rest of the rotation.
I like it very much.
I am not sure if I would cope with being distracted/directed by its content while I am delivering a session, as Nat suggests; I am too slow for that.]]> 2019-03-06 20:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/338596913 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/339240803 2019-03-08 10:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/339240803 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/339252519 This seems like a great platform for collaboration among learners and teachers. The ability to share files, links, and utilise other tools provided by this platform encourages sharing of material and resources which i think is amazing. I was also pleased to be able to access this on my mobile without much disruption to the overall interface (e.g. moodle mobile version can sometimes be quite painful to use compared to moodle desktop version); hence, I feel learners will be more motivated to engage in the kind of interactions and collaboration this platform provides. However, I do agree that abuse or inappropriate use or sharing of material/content/resources can take place should one decide to remain anonymous - i say this because i googled the term "padlet learning tool" and there were few what i call 'open-access' padlets and if you were not a group member, you could still post inappropriate comments or feedback anonymously - worse, you can use the name of one of the group members (e.g. Vicky Tay or Sadie Perkin) and make a post! Yikes!

Easy to use and all on one page so do not have to have multiple tabs open and one doesn't have to go back and forth to different platforms.

Didn't realise it could also be used to upload files/share links and even google. Creates a nice simple space for a learning community.

Just echoing Taufik but also YIKES with regards having the ability to pretend to comment as someone else. This would need to be monitored as I can envisage a host of problems with that!

Excellent way to get feedback on a session though - one can be anonymous and therefore one could argue may receive more honest feedback!]]> 2019-03-09 16:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/339572122 tanman001 https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/339580736 I have used this tool a few times before, and find it especially useful for keeping track of learning topics over time - a group can post problem areas and topics to cover, and you can then change the colour of the post after it is completed, attach notes and link resources... like this handy cancer referrals summary!]]> 2019-03-09 17:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_connell/wd574tt9m1k1/wish/339580736
