Learning with Technology: How to use Padlet: Theory and Tutorial

Padlet

Padlet is an Internet application that allows people to express their thoughts on a common topic easily. It works like an online sheet of paper where people can put any content (e.g. images, videos, documents, text) anywhere on the page from any device. You can use Padlet for:

Personal note taking
To-do lists
Party Invitations
Feedback
Collection
Wishing people on occasions, like birthdays, anniversaries
Anything that might need input from a lot of people, eg. a Mac Vs PC wall (that'll be a war, not a wall actually).
To brainstorm ideas from a class
To collate research on a topic
To share information to an audience
