Padlet is a very useful presentation and organization tool; my personal favorite teaching application. Padlet allows a teacher to compile videos, pictures, videos articles and other forms of media on a creative web page for students to access. A teacher can create a Padlet for every unit that can includes lessons and further sources of information for students to access. The app can also be used by students to create a presentation or to collectively compile information and sources on a topic or theme.
Padlet is free to use, but offers a teacher package for $45 a year and a school package for $1499 a year. The teacher package allows for unlimited student accounts with the flexibility to keep students records year to year. The school package allows for unlimited teacher and student accounts.
The creative flexibility and simple features allows for quick learning and easy use. If a school does not provide laptops or tablets, Padlet offers both apple and android apps for smartphone use. I have no doubt that I will use Padlet in all of my future classrooms; the $45 will be money well spent.
Below are a few images of Padlet features...
Users can easily add videos and play them within the window.
Padlets are easily edited and customizable, although some backgrounds and setups require a paid package.
Adding sources and links is as easy as copy and pasting a link, drag and drop a file or picture, or take a picture or video with the computer itself.
