What is Padlet?

Padlet, simply put, is a digitalised noticeboard (one board, one “Padlet”) where you and your students can collaborate and customise your own learning communities by adding multimedia materials.

Padlet is a collaborative tool to collect and share ideas with others. With Padlet, you can create and share an online post-it board quickly and easily with the unique Padlet link. Padlet allows you and others to insert ideas. It is easy to use and very handy.

Whoever has the Padlet link can see what’s on it and what others are sharing. Students can add little sticky notes online via their mobile devices and computers. They can see all the ideas gathered instantly.

How about a Padlet Backpack?

While the free version offers only three Padlets, this Backpack license grants you an unlimited number of Padlets. Now you can create different Padlets for different groups and modules (without worrying about which Padlet you need to delete or replace).
