Helpful Starting Point for Discussions

Overall, even though padlet is simplistic in design and nature it is a helpful and quick tool, especially in the classroom. Users are able to quickly share their ideas and is therefore a perfect starting point for conversations, seminars, or surveys.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

Padlet is a simple way for groups of people to share ideas, brainstorm, and start conversations. In the classroom setting I have used it many times for students to anonymously project ideas on the screen. This easy to access software can help students to get out of their shells and contribute to a conversation/seminar in ways that they otherwise wouldn't have.

Cons:

Padlet's features are functional and easy to use, however they are at times simplistic and lack the more refined features that would be helpful. It feels like an online version of having individuals place stickynotes on a corkboard. It can also be difficult to vet inappropriate submissions if you are not vigilant.

Vendor Response

Hi David! Thank you for leaving this review. I'm glad that Padlet is a helpful tool for your classroom discussions. It's awesome that all students are able to contribute to the conversation through Padlet. When it comes to inappropriate submissions, we do have some features in place, like require approval, to help combat this issue. We are also working on more automated ways to handle these types of submissions. Stay tuned for more. In the meantime, I'd be curious to learn more about the refined features you're looking for. Could you send us a message with more details? https://padlet.com/contact-us Thanks again for using Padlet!

Padlet Student Engagement Tool

I use Padlet each week to help my students be engaged with our classroom content and share their own responses with each other. My students love to share on our Padlet Walls, and it's never a boring lesson when they get to post and read their peers' responses. Because my students love it, I love it too!

Pros:

I love that all students get to participate and can learn from each other throughout the day. Having unlimited Padlet access I can create interactive questions to help my students learn and be engaged, instead of just having them respond alone on a blank piece of paper.

Cons:

That is really hard to answer. I love everything about Padlet.

Reasons for switching to Padlet

I lost all my lessons on Nearpod and I have used Padlet for a really long time.

Pros:

Padlet is a visually engaging, collaborative, organised and agile way of creating, storing and presenting resources. It is wonderful for presenting in an educational setting because students are able to access large amounts of information, attractively presented, in one place.

Cons:

We have invested time as a department setting up resources over the years on padlet, it worries us that one day the company could fold or end, then where would our resources go?

Reasons for choosing Padlet

the visually enticing nature of the content when designed for students

Vendor Response

It’s fantastic to hear how Padlet is supporting your work in creative arts education and helping organize and present resources in a visually engaging way for your students.

Pros:

I love that it is so user-friendly, it makes it an easy tool to introduce to students and staff that are tech hesitant. We have students who are making their own Padlets to share with friends - favorite quotes, movies, etc.

Cons:

I wish it was a free program, but that is not realistic -

Reasons for switching to Padlet

Padlet is easier to use with the visual and other options! Students are outstanding about only working in their own space when I use the Shelf system.

Pros:

I initially use padlet for posting youtube music videos, but with my latest class I have asked them to also post introduction videos. When I initially tested out Padlet I saw that I could post music, word documents, presentations, gif files, and videos, so I knew in time I might expand upon my uses for it with my classes.

Cons:

I want more selection of art or photos for screens, so it was more on the design choices.

Reasons for switching to Padlet

Flipgrid or Flip was an app I used for student videos on assigned readings and introductions. Things like that. However they are changing platforms and pon JULY 1 everything is locked and archived, viewable only and will be deleted by OCT of this year. Which is okay. I actually went on to delete the prior Flip rooms I made but could not delete them and that is how I learned about their changes. They are switching to a new app, something called like Teams and Education.

Vendor Response

Thank you for leaving this review, Gregory! I'm glad you are finding potential with Padlet, especially with the news of Flip moving to Microsoft Teams. We appreciate your feedback about wanting more selection of art/photos. If you have the time, please reach out at https://padlet.com/contact-us so we can learn more about what you're looking for.

Pros:

I love the many different ways I can use Padlet in my courses. I use the map feature to discuss periods and poverty in my sex education course; I use the video uploads for students to introduce themselves; and I use the picture upload for a qualitative analysis of culture in my gender roles class.

Cons:

I don't like that I have to pay to use it in order to benefit from the uses I have for it, but at least it's tax deductible as a teacher expense.

Reasons for switching to Padlet

Flip was no longer available as it was bought out by Microsoft Teams.
