Previous comments on Padlet
“Amazing platform for communication in groups. I like it because of a simple form and the way it organised. It’s can be like a blog and I think that’s beautiful.” Katerina, K12 teacher, Ukraine, 2022
“Allows for asynchronous community building and learner engagement (first five are free) that can be built straight into eLearning courses. Very simple to setup and use, great UX design.” 2022
“One of many collaborative tools I enjoy using is Padlet, a virtual cork board. I use Padlet to create a shared vision for a class or a team, to create a crowd-sourced music playlist for an event or class, as a parking lot, and to collectively come up with ways to extend learning. This year for our faculty gathering, we have Padlet boards for virtual collaboration and have also printed out posters (with QR codes that point back to the Padlet boards) that people can respond in person to using sticky notes. I love the blend of the analog and the digital that is possible using this approach.” Bonni Stachowiak, producer and host of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast, USA, 2022
“Create online artefact of learning” Lynn Wong, Learning Development Team Manager, Singapore, 2021
“It is still the most powerful “wall” and group portfolio tool and hardly any training on using it is necessary as it is so intuitive. Use at university is also possible, just make sure that no sensitive data are shared.” Andrea Ghoneim, eDeveloper & support for digital teaching, Austria, 2021
“Padlet is beloved at the college I work at. It’s regularly used for synchronous and asynchronous activities, especially collaborative work.” Lee Lewis, Senior Digital Learning Coordinator, UK, 2021
“Padlet is easy and fun to use with students and other teachers! It can be great to organize thoughts or reflect on learning, and students can post using text or images, making it more welcoming to younger users. I have used it frequently by posting my student’s homework, portfolios and have had etivity:” Majlinda Qisja, K12 teacher, Albania, 2021
“We use Padlet to capture and map out ideas. It’s simple to set up and a great way to map out ideas as a group (a significant part of our role).” OU Learning Design Team, UK, 2021

“Padlet is an online shared sticky note platform for students to respond to a prompt of sorts. Students sign in so you can track who wrote what, and media is permitted on the responses. This is a great way to combine many responses into one area that is shared among a group of people.” Librarian, USA, 2020
“Back in my top 10. Padlet is an easy to use digital corkboard. You can use it to activate prior knowledge, for brainwriting or to share ideas of participants. You can save and share the outcomes. There are different options for privacy settings. Learners don’t need an account. The free version has limitations, related to the number of Padlets you can use.” Wilfred Rubens, Netherlands, 2020
“I’m using Padlet mostly in the university, but I like it so much how ideas are shared and that it can be embedded using “iframe”.” Ana María Rodríguez Hinestroza, Learning strategist, Colombia, 2020
