Having the students come to this virtual board to write their ideas also allows for sharing ideas without voicing them aloud and deals with stage fright. This works as a pre-assessment for students and can determine where a lesson goes. It can be used for collaboration on group projects. Since Padlet can be shared with anyone via email, you can virtually invite anyone to share on your Padlet wall. Anyone on the wall can add posts, pictures, videos, links and more at the double tap of the message board. These posts are added instantly so anyone can see them.
