Padlet

Thanks to the few that attended our first Tech-in-20 session this week. We quickly reviewed the online sticky-note tool called Padlet.

Here are some of our notes from the session:

A few examples:

• Brainstorming ideas - http://padlet.com/wall/socialmedia7L http://padlet.com/wall/6jnetiquette
• Vocabulary - http://padlet.com/wall/1rbmyjr47x
• Collecting resources - http://padlet.com/wall/2scfnhq2j5
• Displaying work - http://padlet.com/wall/ucc6-7photography
• Weekly planner - http://padlet.com/wall/PadCal (organize greeters or class announcers?)
• Managing projects - http://padlet.com/wall/kanban_wall

Try it by posting on a padlet:

The Padlet Blog is a good source of ideas too!
