I would start by changing the title, and description to fit with your question. Once you select your layout, Padlet sets up a canvas that you can modify. It really creates a great opportunity for discussion in the classroom. I like to be able to take a student’s response and move it off to the side, discuss it, or connect it to another student’s response. I also like the idea of students creating their own Padlets as lesson activities or even assessment tasks.As I said, canvas is my favorite layout. My next goal is to experiment with flipping my classroom by recording instructional videos and uploading these for students to view prior to the lesson. The futureĪs I get more used to using Padlet in my classroom I will continue to experiment with its potential uses.

It took me 5 minutes to upload the resources for a Year 9 assessment task and shared the link with the other teachers on the team who then were able to use this with their classes instantly. Similarly to how I’ve used Google Spaces, Padlet is a great alternative to emails for sharing ideas and working in collaborative teaching teams. This way students who are absent are still able to catch up on classwork in their own time and other students are able to revisit the content and revise.
#PADLET IN THE CLASSROOM UPDATE#
Parents really appreciate being able to see what their students are learning and whether they actually have homework or not!Īfter most lessons I will update the page with key instructions and links to resources or even upload a picture of the notes from the whiteboard. And because all that is needed to view the page is a link, I emailed this out to all of my students’ parents so they can be kept up to date also. Each week I post notices relating to homework instructions, key assessment dates, and where they should be up to with their work. So far, I have used it as a noticeboard, a resource hub, and a tool for working with other teachers.Īs a noticeboard, Padlet is really useful because let’s face it, teenagers are forgetful. I’ve been using Padlet with all of my classes since the beginning of term 2 this year. Padlet even have mobile apps though there is no requirement to have these to access the site.

It is also designed to work on mobile devices just as effectively as on computers. This means that students can instantly access and even contribute to a class Padlet without having to waste time logging in. While you will need to sign up to create your own pages, there is no requirement to have an account to view a Padlet. Where it makes up for this is how quickly it can be setup and accessed by students.

The great thing about it is that you do not need to sign up to view or even contribute to a Padlet. While this does limit some of the potential uses of Padlet, there are already tools available to do this such as Blackboard and The Learning Place. It should also never be used to communicate with students or to upload school or department resources. This means that sensitive information such as students’ names and other info should never be put on the site. There are many potential uses for a resource such as Padlet both in and out of the classroom, however, there are a few things that need to be kept in mind when using it as an employee of a state education department.
