Imagine you’ve asked your class to research a topic, with each student contributing several facts. In a hands-on classroom, you might have each student write their fact on a sticky note and add it to a whiteboard. Then, together with your class, you could organize those facts by moving the notes into columns. You can do the same with Padlet, but your “sticky notes” can contain photos, graphs, videos and audio, article links, and anything else that might be useful. On the board above, students have contributed facts about E.T.A. Hoffman, author of The Nutcracker story, as well as information about the ballet. Here’s the same board organized into columns, with posts sorted by subject. You can organize information in other ways, too, like timelines and flowcharts.

One teacher likes to use Padlet to see who needs help during independent work. Kids simply add their name to the list to indicate they need a minute of the teacher’s time. They can see how many kids are ahead of them, and no one is forgotten in the shuffle. Hold a debateĬlassroom discussion and debate can be difficult when you’re teaching online. Even in person, there’s rarely enough time for everyone’s opinion to be heard. Try taking the debate online instead, like this Padlet from Teach Every Day.
