Padlet is a free online bulletin board that you can use to display information on any topic. Users can add images, links, video, and document files. Walls can be private, open to the public, or moderated by the user – meaning that the user approves all contributions before becoming public.

Padlet is a tool that provides opportunities for questioning, collecting and evaluating data, communicating solutions all through collaboration. On the online graffiti wall, teachers and students can have discussions, share web links, post notices, collect feedback, or watch and share videos. Padlet accounts are free and users can make limitless walls. Students do not have to create an account to post on teacher’s walls.
