Padlet

     Hello everyone! In this blog, i am going to cover a brief review of the app Padlet. Padlet is a digital board or canvas for people to create their own idea boards. In addition to creating, you can also attend to other padlets which enables you to work together with other people. 


As you can see from the picture above, the app allows you to make and join to padlets either through scanning a QR code or pasting an URL. Also, you can see the padlets you've created on this first page.

 
When you decide to create a padlet, there will appear some blank boards for you to choose a specific type such as wall, canvas, stream and grid. I chose to start with a grid to arrange my content in rows of boxes. If you are not sure which one to choose and start with, there are also preview sections for each type of board which allow you to see the structured examples of each. Moreover, you not only can add texts to your padlets but also links,images and videos as shown in the picture above.
   
     Padlet is quite suitable for teachers to use in a class environment if the facilities are provided. It can be used to provide collaborative learning among students by gathering them under one padlet board and topic through sharing links. You can also ask your students to add texts or images to the same board thus, enabling the brainstorming.
