Create a Padlet in the classroom for students (or faculty) to get to know one another. Ask students to post a note with their name and something they are looking forward to learning during the upcoming school year.
2. Formative Assessment

After teaching a lesson, post a “ticket out the door” question to find what students learned that day. You can post a lesson’s essential question, or a specific question to determine who has met an exact objective. This is a great time to figure out what students’ perceive to be the important points about their learning, and it also highlights the misconceptions.
3. Collaborative Research

Padlet can be a great classroom tool for small groups of students participating in collaborative research. To help organize the board, students can post driving questions about their topic, and as they find answers  during the research process, they can post them under each driving question.
4. Book Studies and Discussion Points

Padlet is an incredibly useful discussion board for discussion. Whether it is student-run literature circle or reciprocal teaching groups, or a staff development book study. Padlet is an effective classroom tool. The leader posts a question about the chapter, and participants respond to that question. Students can have literature discussions even when the classroom needs to be quiet, or in the evening from their own homes
5. Student Sharing

Provide students with an opportunity to share their work without taking the instructional time to share one at a time in front of the room. (Presenting has definite value, but realistically there just isn’t enough time to do this for everything students create.) Allow students to take a picture of what they are working on and post it to a Padlet you’ve set up for them. Have other class members view the posted items, and respond below it by sharing a “Praise” and a “Polish”– one thing they love, and one thing they would have done differently.
