This video is complete training in using padlet both in the classroom as well as if you are teaching online. I've been using Padlet for over 10-years and even started working with it when it was called Wallisher.

You can create a Padlet, share the link and then the students can click on the link and begin to add content onto the Padlet. The idea is that the content is added onto the Padlet rather like sticky notes. The interesting thing about working with Padlet is that the stickies can include text, pictures, video, and even drawings. More recently they have introduced the possibility to add your voice onto the electronic cork board. Padlet is perhaps one of the most versatile collaborative spaces that I have seen. It is so simple to create a Padlet and then get your students engaging and writing onto the screen. It literally takes just a few clicks of the button and suddenly you can have all your students collaborating and working together and adding up their ideas. I have even used Padlet in really big groups of people, sometimes more than 500 people and it has worked really well. Padlet is also really good for students when they're working in groups. Students can work together, set up a padlet and then use that as the place where they share their ideas and thoughts. Remember a Padlet can include pictures, text, video, voice, links, and even drawings. It really is a versatile technology and ideal for group work. More recently I have been using Padlet to get students to record their voices. This is excellent if you are working in a teaching situation connected with language teaching because the students can record themselves on the Padlet and the teacher can collect all of the recordings together in one place. if you are working with young learners then you can use the Padlet drawing tool. Young learners can draw on the screen and leave their drawings as stickies on the collaborative space. There are some really nice additional controls on Padlet that make it the ideal tool for collaboration and working together. For example the students can comment on each other's contributions. They can even mark, grade or like posts the other students added onto the electronic corkboard. There are some useful security settings on Padlet. For example you can set it up so that students are not able to write anything onto the cork board until you have verified it. This is a great security setting if you are working with young learners. It is very simple to set up and means you can easily control the content of the Padlet. It is very easy to share padlets. One example is you can embed a Padlet into a website into a blog or even into something like Moodle or Blackboard. Another possibility is to turn the final Padlet into an image and you can do this very simply by just clicking one button. You can also archive your Padlets. You are allowed up to three free padlets when you are working in the free account. So one tip is to make sure that after you have used your free #Padlet #onlineteaching #padlettutorial
