Padlet

What is Padlet?

Padlet is a tool you can use to create digital pinboards independently and collaboratively. It allows you to make a variety of digital resources in different ways – a bulletin board or blog for example – and share them easily with other students.

What can I use Padlet for?

Padlet allows you to create ‘Padlets’ which are collections of digitally curated content, and then share them with others.  You can add text, images, video, audio, and attached files to a ‘Padlet’, and then share it with others for them to collaborate on or simply to view. 

You may also be invited to join or view Padlets by staff, either as a way of sharing collected resources, or as a collaborative task. 

You can find lots of information and guidance on the Digital Education Systems help website.

How do I get a Padlet account?
