PADLET

Hello everyone! 

 In today's article, we will talk about an application called Padlet. This application is one of my favorites since I used it in my first year at university. It is an application that helps a lot. Padlet is a digital tool that can help teachers and students in class and beyond by offering a single place for a notice board. That's at its most basic.

This digital notice board is able to feature images, links, videos, and documents, all collated on a "wall" that can be made public or private. This means that not only can teachers post on the wall but so too can students. In the first step, to open an account you need to go to www.Padlet.com

1. Login with your already established Google or Facebook account or Click on “Sign Up” to create a new Padlet account.

Here is my account. 

Take some time to explore the Home Page. When you’re ready to create your first wall, follow these steps…. 

1. Click on “CREATE NEW PADLET” to create a new wall.

 2. Welcome to your first Padlet wall!

“Designing” and Managing your wall 

1. When you select the “Modify Wall” (gear) icon, you’ll reveal the wall control menu. 

2. Work from the top of this sub­menu, down to create your wall.

 a. Notice you can upload your own photos for both the portrait icon and the Wallpaper background.

Wallpaper

 1. Explore the Wallpapers (or Backgrounds). You’ll find some really useful wallpapers like the “My Tasks” and the “Calendar” Backgrounds. Pretty useful for projects (personal and groups) and publication staff tracking.

Layout 1.

 Layout refers to how the “sticky notes” are posted on the board. 2. Students tend to appreciate the Freeform option more than teachers. Stream “stacks” posts. Grid places posts as a grid. It’s really a matter of preference. 3. Play around with the layout options to figure out what works for you. 

Padlet offers an incredible amount of options to share your Padlet, Export, Print, Embed, and generates a cool QR Code for you.
