An App to Try!

One app that I have recently begun to use is Padlet. It comes in app form on a mobile device or tablet but is accessible on computers through their website. As I said, I just started to use this app but so far I feel as though it would be very useful in the classroom as it could serve many different purposes.

There is a paid and a free version, I am using the free version at the moment. With the free version, there is a limit as to how many Padlets you can have (3), but you can have so much in one Padlet! For example, one Padlet can be materials to help students stay on track in class and find different dates, outlines, etc. all in one place - kind of like a shared folder. You can also make Padlets for brainstorming in class or at home for the next lesson you are planning. Students then go to this Padlet and add their ideas right to that space! You can also add documents, videos, links, pictures, etc. to the Padlets that enhance discussion, engagement, and understanding! Padlet is a great app to use to encourage collaboration within your classroom and online!

I strongly recommend that educators check Padlet out! Here is a blog post about Padlet and how it can be beneficial to educators! I also encourage other users to leave some tips and tricks! Thanks!
