Supporting professional learning with Padlet

In my role as a professional learning facilitator (in schools), I use Padlet for all of my workshops. It is a great tool for me to share resources, supporting video tutorials and exemplars of student work. It also provides the space for workshop participants to easily share their creations and seek feedback. Love this tool!

Pros:

I have been mourning the loss of Jamboard since I first received notice that it was going away and searching for a replacement since. Sanbox is THE PERFECT replacement!!! Easy to use and share with some cool new features as well! I work as a professional trainer. Sandbox is A LIFESAVER to ensure I can get participants engaged and sharing thoughts and ideas easily and instantly.

Cons:

It would be nice if there were more solid background color choices.

Reasons for switching to Padlet

Loved Jamboard but it is going away. I tried FIgJam and Miro first as these were recommended by Google. They were not user-friendly enough. Tried some others and had the same issue, especially when it came to sharing and then easy interactions from participants.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the awesome review, Beth! We're so glad to hear that Sandbox has become your go-to Jamboard replacement. It’s great to know that it’s making your virtual training sessions more interactive and engaging. I’ll pass along your suggestion about more background color options to our team. If you need any more help or have feedback, feel free to reach out at https://padlet.com/contact-us or @padlet on social media. Thanks for choosing Sandbox!

¡Padlet en las clases de español!

I love it! I am excited to explore ways to use it in less advanced classes and I am hoping to collaborate with other language teachers who are finding innovative ways to add this to their curriculum. Gracias.

Pros:

As a world language teacher, I have found Padlet to be an excellent place to collaborate. We make vocabulary lists, blog about different ideas, drop in original work - there are so many possibilities. I especially LOVE the new recording feature. My advanced Spanish students just wrote original "Elemental Odes" (in the style of Pablo Neruda). They were able to post a picture with their original written work and the recite their poem on the same Padlet! We later read and listened to all of their work together. Amazing! I am trying to convince our entire department to use it!

Cons:

No complaints yet - it is so versatile. I feel like I have not even scratched the surface of creative ways to use it! Is there a way to collaborate with other teachers?

Reasons for switching to Padlet

They were discontinued. Please do not go away!

The Ultimate Multi-Use Sharing Space

Overall Padlet is a fantastic toolset. Whether you're just looking for a quick and easy digital whiteboard, a more comprehensive planning and organizational space, or a way to share and submit ideas and digital files Padlet has options that are likely to work for your specific need. I would highly recommend giving it a try.

Pros:

Padlet is a great multi-tasker - the Swiss Army Knife of digital collaboration. Many features that are the central selling point of entire services exist within Padlet as just another option for how you create your space. I use Padlet for sharing, working with teams, submitting ideas, and even to gather feedback.

Cons:

One downside of Padlet is the freedom and openness can mean that you have to be a bit more intentional about how you set up your space in order to get what you want. More options and flexibility is great! But it also means there's more to choose from and more to filter out.

Reasons for switching to Padlet

I used Trello to organize shelves of to do lists for complex tasks, but this is just one of the many features built into Padlet, so it's significantly more effective to use them as I get way more options as a bonus!

Vendor Response

Thanks for the thoughtful review, Garrett! I’m glad to hear you’re finding Padlet to be such a versatile tool for collaboration and idea sharing. We appreciate your point about the flexibility requiring some setup—it’s something we’re always thinking about as we add new features. If you ever need any tips or have feedback, feel free to reach out at https://padlet.com/contact-us or on social media @padlet. Thanks again for your recommendation!

I use Padlet each week to help my students be engaged with our classroom content and share their own responses with each other.
