The 12 Days of Techmas - Day 6: Padlet


12 Days of Our Favorite Resources to Engage Learners

I always try to remember it’s not about the tech, it’s how you use it. This being said, sometimes learning about a new tool or resource will open the door to bigger discussions about, creativity, pedagogy, and learning. It is ok to sometimes start with the tool and then explore how or why you might use it to enhance teaching and learning.

Day 6 - Padlet

Yesterday, I shared The Noun Project, a great resource for high-quality icons and graphics. Today I am sharing one of my favorite resources to support digital collaboration and communication. Whenever I want students to share ideas or creations with the class, Padlet is the place. 

Padlet is a digital bulletin board where students and teachers can post messages, collaborate, reflect, share links, share videos, and share pictures. Padlet is a great resource to support student voice and creative communication in any classroom.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t. If only life were like that.


Did you know that Padlet posts can include file uploads, links, Google searches, photos, webcam recordings, audio recordings, screencasts, drawings, map locations, or links to other Padlets?

Don't worry, I will be back tomorrow with another resource to share.
