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.

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!

They Refused to Stop Charging My Card Upon Request to Stop Service

I purchased their service for a friend. The friend only used it for one month. After several months of not using the service and being charged, my friend tried to cancel the service. I kept being charged for service each month. I called and tried to cancel the service. The customer service representative refused to stop the service because I did not open the account. I told her to disassociate my bank card with the Padlet account. Again, the representative refused to stop charging me because I did not open the account. I had to get my bank to stop charging me. I was charged over a year.

PROS

It worked for the purpose it was used for.

CONS

I received very poor customer service. They continued to charge me a monthly service charge for over a year.

Awesome Teaching Resource

I love that it is an easy way to collaborate with large groups and it is easy to share. I love that each page can be customized with images etc.

PROS

I like that I can instantly share this with all of my students though our Google Classroom with ease. Its a great way for us to collaboratively take notes as a class and share ideas together.

CONS

I wish there was an option to do slides of some kind that can then be presented in full screen mode. - slides that could be shared and created with multiple people.

Reasons for switching to Padlet

This is a more efficient way of presenting and collaborating with my class. The controls are easy to use and is not too complicated to find what you need and are looking for.

Vendor Response

Hi Koriana, We're so glad to hear that you find Padlet useful for so many different tasks in your classroom. We're also happy to let you know that we've recently released Slideshow view for all Padlets. If you select the play button from the action bar of any padlet the posts will present in a fullscreen, shareable presentation. We hope this helps and thank you for using Padlet!

I love it and will continue using it on my daily practice.

PROS

How easy is to use it and the possibilities it has for every subject.

CONS

Nothing, I love everything! I can't find anything that I don't find reasonable.

Reasons for switching to Padlet

Because it's easier and much more interactive to use Padlet and my students found it very helpful. I continue using Classroom but with different purposes.

Boosting the collaboration and creativity of my students in an interactive way thanks to Padlet

As I mentioned in a previous review, I was a tutor in an English academy, and I must admit that Padlet was an invaluable tool to encourage active participation and interactive learning in the classroom as this platform helped me create thematic boards with resources, such as vocabulary, images and practical exercises, thanks to this my students mentioned that they liked this feature because they could easily access the material at any time. Also, speaking of the real-time comment and reply feature, this helped my students and I because it made it easier for us to provide feedback and communication, improving their comprehension and confidence in the language. In summary, my teaching and learning experience using this tool was the best, because it provided me with an interactive and motivating virtual environment for the linguistic progress of the students.

PROS

Of the many positive points that Padlet has, what I liked the most was that it allowed students to create personalized virtual boards quickly and easily and also that it has various display options, be it tiled, timeline or map and All these help flexibility in content organization. And finally, another function that I found very useful is that it has the real-time collaboration function between students and between teacher and students, facilitating teamwork and active participation of users.

CONS

Of negative points I was able to realize that the free version has limitations in terms of the number of boards that can be created and the amount of content that can be stored, because in my case my organization provided me with the paid version and I had no limitations in the functionalities of this, however, users who do not have the premium version will be limited to many interesting features.

Vendor Response

Thank you, Isaac, for your insightful Padlet review. Your positive experiences with our platform are inspiring. We're thrilled that Padlet has enhanced collaboration and creativity in your classroom. Your appreciation for the personalized virtual boards and real-time collaboration features resonates with our goals. We're grateful for your observations about the free version's limitations and are glad your premium access provided the full experience. Your use of thematic boards for resources is a great example of Padlet's versatility. We're proud to have contributed to your interactive teaching environment. For any further insights, connect with us over social media @padlet. We're here to support your teaching journey.

Amazing tool for teaching any subject

It is an amazing easy tool to use for a wide range of purposes. As a teacher, many other resources are so subject specific that this tool is refreshing if you are a teacher of any subject and level. My creativity is the limit when it comes to how I can use the variety of layouts, options, etc. available with Padlet!

PROS

I love the live updates, the security features, ease of setup and use, the clean visual interface, new user intuitive, and an excellent way to use technology as a TOOL to enhance what I already do in the classroom. If you need student engagement and to incorporate more technology, give Padlet a try. I use it for art critiques, peer feedback, brainstorming, researching, etc. I use it for student portfolios and you can have a custom URL.

CONS

I wish the "Anonymous" name didn't appear for students that don't want to make an account (even though it is free). I then have to remind students to post their name for credit for their responses. I would like to see a field added where those contributing without an account have a "Name" field that I could enable so they would have to type something there before they can post.

Vendor Response

Hi there! Thank you for your fantastic review of Padlet. We're thrilled to hear that our tool has become an amazing asset for teaching various subjects. We're glad you appreciate the live updates, security features, and the ease of setup and use that Padlet offers. It's wonderful to know that our clean visual interface and intuitive design have been valuable in enhancing your classroom experience. We understand the importance of using technology as a tool to augment your teaching methods, and we're delighted to be a part of that journey. Regarding the "Anonymous" name appearing for students without an account, we understand your concern. We're constantly working to improve our features and provide the best experience for our users. Your suggestion about adding a "Name" field for anonymous contributors is valuable, and we'll certainly take it into consideration as we continue to enhance our platform. We're thrilled that Padlet has offered you a wide range of purposes, from art critiques and peer feedback to brainstorming and researching. The versatility of our layouts and options means that your creativity knows no bounds.

PROS

Formats, streamless interface, easy to search for images and videos on google and youtube, storage, recording, video recording, screensharing

CONS

The last time I tried (3 months ago), I couldn't duplicate a padlet. So when I wanted to create 10 similar padlets for same purposes, I had to manually type everythign from scratch, which is quite time consuming. Also, please have more options for font, size, highlighting colors, etc so our notes can be more attractive and helpful.

Reason for choosing Padlet

Ready-made formats.

Padlet for cross-course collaboration

Most recently, students used Padlet to have a tournament of Hispanic foods. They researched traditional foods from different countries and posted photos and descriptions of each.Each day, we had elimination challenges between two countries until, like in team sports tournaments, the last countries and their foods had play-offs and a winner was selected. This year it was Guatemala. The students got to try an authentic breakfast of Guatemalan foods as a celebration of their work. Padlet made this tournament possible.

PROS

I love offering the same Padlet page to participants from different course sections who have never met in person. It inspires students to give their authentic best quality posts that everyone wants to read and respond to while staying on topic, knowing they are accountable for their submissions.

CONS

There are only a few basic formats available to start, which is fine for what we need, but perhaps new setup formats will become available soon.

Vendor Response

Hi Stephanie! Thank you for leaving a review. Using Padlet for a virtual tournament is such a good idea!

Perfect for EFL Writing

I highly recommended the added value it offers to teaching. The ways I can use it in classes are numerous, and its functionality and ease of use makes it a " go to " tool.

PROS

Padlet is perfect for the "English as a Foreign Language" classes I teach. It is especially valuable for writing where students can share their sentences anonymously and have them critiqued.

CONS

While I am used to it now, I would suggest an easily viewable privacy notification when creating padlets (e.g., "Your present Padlet is Secret. Click here for more information.") This would be especially valuable to teachers with privacy concerns for their classes. It would also be beneficial for teachers creating a Padlet on the go. In addition, more background photos would be nice.

Middle School Teacher's Take on Padlet

Easy!!

PROS

I love that I can create a digital bulletin board of student work and keep it on my Canvas homepage all year long!

CONS

Reason for choosing Padlet

Good for the classroom / training session

The way Padlet works, with students being able to write their whole idea before posting it to the main board, allows them to put their thoughts down without fear of someone "looking over their shoulder" before they are done. If we use Google slides or Google docs to attempt something similar, others can see what we're doing before we're done, and it can be intimidating.

PROS

It's easy and fun, and compelling for the students to participate and write what's on their mind.

CONS

Not really an issue but there are "too many" options and I fear I might not always be using the best method to hold my discussion forums in class. Complaining for nothing, I know.

Padlet Review

PROS

It allows me to easily embed pictures, videos etc

CONS

I think the formatting templates and how the padlets can be grouped into various folders would be great. It is currently messy for me to organize the padlets well.

Online lecture addition tool

Once I figured out how to move around I really think it provides a nice overview of all tools at one place and is also nice that it shows live when someone else edits somethingl.

PROS

I learned to use padlet during an online course where the entire course was setup via padlet. All documents as well as group projects were on there and it was sort of a timeline.

CONS

At first I really couldnt figure out how to scroll to the right along the timeline. I dont know if it was just me or if hte slide thing to move it is maybe a little small and unintuitive.
