Padlet

Padlet...What is Padlet?! 

Padlet is like having a blank piece of paper for your computer that you can easily add notes or information to! All you do is click "build a wall" and you begin. You can choose your backgrounds, layout, privacy information, and many more settings.

This is so neat to use in a classroom! I wasn't too sure how to use this website so I googled it and I found this great 6 minute youtube video explaining how to use it for classroom use! View Video

In the youtube video, the teacher basically explains that you could post a question and have your students go on and post their name with an answer. For example, "what did you learn in class today?" I learned from this video that you can password protect your padlet for your class! As long as your class knows the password they can access it.  I also learned that you can create a web address for your padlet as long as it's available. By default it will give you a web address such as: http://padlet.com/wall/ten00huyff. Now if you're okay with typing that in, that's great! But if not, you click on the little gear that says, "modify" and then click on the link picture that says, "address." Here you can type in whatever you like, for example: mrsjackson2014. So the web address the students would type in would be: http://padlet.com/wall/mrsjackson2014.

Try out this website! It's fantastic! To check out my padlet I created and add to it, see below!
