Benefit of using Padlet.

​

​

The main benefit of using Padlet is its reliable mind-mapping tool, easy-to-use and intuitive interface, and free online bulletin board solution. The mind-mapping tool helps to streamline the development of an online bulletin board that can be used to collect and view information on various topics. Padlet is so useful as a virtual classroom, because many people can post to the same board at the same time making it a very suitable platform for group work and to conduct classes. You can build as many "walls" or online notice boards as you want when you register with Padlet. An online board you create can be shared with any students of your classes and anyone you want. You just need to share with them a unique connection to Padlet with picking a QR code or a link. There is many other choice but this two is the most evident. 

​

In addition, Padlet offers you more confidentiality and better protection. Only when set to default can it be viewed by anyone. It also helps you to add or delete social networking features such as sharing with Facebook without losing the ease of providing your members with content. With defined emails, private walls can be created by requiring a password to access them or by restricting access. Creators of Padlets may also moderate posts, delete posts, and 24/7 control their board.

​

Students and teachers can have an online interaction in a secure location. While students do not need to sign up to use Padlets, but it is recommended to teachers to do so in order to edit a wall, moderate posts and collate all class walls into one management screen. Teachers can also choose to set a notification to receive an email whenever a student posts to the teacher’s wall. Everyone who has opened the Padlet board will see what's on it and what everyone is saying. Students only need to take a device and start online with the addition of small sticky notes. All the ideas gathered on the teacher's board can be seen instantly. All files and videos posted on Padlet's board are clickable and viewable from the Padlet. So you do not need to change to another page to view it.
