Use Padlet in the beginning of the year to learn student faces and names. It could also be used as a brainstorming tool for students to post what they think they know about content or as a collaboration tool for assignments. ~

Use Padlet for book discussions. I have assigned groups to do a study on various characters through out a story and to post their character observations and descriptions to the Padlet wall for all students to see.  

You can use Padlet as an exit ticket to summarize the learning from the day. It is a powerful tool to see other students ideas and thoughts in an interactive way. They can also include links or other media to illustrate their learning from the day. Padlet allows students who do not normally share their thoughts in the classroom to become an active part of the classroom environment. The ability for the students to work anonymously is especially important in the middle school classroom, as the "cool factor" of answering questions in front of the class seems to diminish. To have all student responses in one place instead of on post it's allowed me to organize each class periods thoughts in one space.  

You can use Padlet as an introduction to the class and had students post an influential quote so we could start analyzing purposeful language use. Also, after another lesson students can post a real-world application to Padlet making connections to the skill/material learned in class.

Padlet is a wonderful app that allows students to post their thoughts or feelings about a certain topic.  They may also organize facts about a topic or open up a discussion about that topic.  This supports student's learning by making their ideas concrete and visible to each other.  Students may have their voice be heard by creating their own padlets to gather information from others about a topic they are researching or care a lot about.  Padlets help organize any and everyone's thoughts and feelings into clear, separated, visible boxes.  These boxes give the user a space to write a topic/name or descriptions/answers.

Whenever a student finds something helpful for his portfolio, he just has to save it on his portfolio Padlet board. No more editing and printing articles.

Let your students answer some important exit ticket questions like “what did you learn today?”, “What didn’t you understand?” or “What questions do you still have?”.

It gets better…

Here are some other exit ticket promts your students could answer:

Once you’ve created your Padlet wall and decided on a question or multiple questions, post your photo and response to model what you want students to do.
