The Easiest, Fastest and User-Friendly Tools for Everyone

Over the years of using Padlet, academics, and students have benefited most. From collaborating, and sharing ideas, to mood boards, the capabilities of padlet in an educational setting are limitless.

What they liked

I've used Padlet for the past few years, as it is one of the easiest, fastest, and most user-friendly tools I have encountered

Room for improvement

Managing users as an admin is a bit of a hassle; if we have thousands of users, the time to load, for example, will be longer

Supporting professional learning with Padlet

In my role as a professional learning facilitator (in schools), I use Padlet for all of my workshops. It is a great tool for me to share resources, supporting video tutorials and exemplars of student work. It also provides the space for workshop participants to easily share their creations and seek feedback. Love this tool!

What they liked
  • I love how easy it is to use
  • A fantastic collaborative tool for gathering and sharing digital content
  • It is also very visually appealing, with such an intuitive interface
Room for improvement
  • Can't really think of anything I don't like
  • Sorry

The Perfect Jamboard Replacement has Arrived!

I liked Padlet. I LOVE Sandbox!! So easy to use, and as a professional trainer, user friendly on the other side of a virtual call as well!

What they liked
  • I have been mourning the loss of Jamboard since I first received notice that it was going away and searching for a replacement since
  • Sanbox is THE PERFECT replacement
  • Easy to use and share with some cool new features as well
  • I work as a professional trainer
  • Sandbox is A LIFESAVER to ensure I can get participants engaged and sharing thoughts and ideas easily and instantly
Room for improvement
  • It would be nice if there were more solid background color choices
Switched From

Loved Jamboard but it is going away. I tried FIgJam and Miro first as these were recommended by Google. They were not user-friendly enough. Tried some others and had the same issue, especially when it came to sharing and then easy interactions from participants.

The Ultimate Multi-Use Sharing Space

Overall Padlet is a fantastic toolset. Whether you're just looking for a quick and easy digital whiteboard, a more comprehensive planning and organizational space, or a way to share and submit ideas and digital files Padlet has options that are likely to work for your specific need. I would highly recommend giving it a try.

What they liked
  • Padlet is a great multi-tasker - the Swiss Army Knife of digital collaboration
  • Many features that are the central selling point of entire services exist within Padlet as just another option for how you create your space
  • I use Padlet for sharing, working with teams, submitting ideas, and even to gather feedback
Room for improvement
  • One downside of Padlet is the freedom and openness can mean that you have to be a bit more intentional about how you set up your space in order to get what you want
  • More options and flexibility is great
  • But it also means there's more to choose from and more to filter out
Switched From

I used Trello to organize shelves of to do lists for complex tasks, but this is just one of the many features built into Padlet, so it's significantly more effective to use them as I get way more options as a bonus!

¡Padlet en las clases de español!

I love it! I am excited to explore ways to use it in less advanced classes and I am hoping to collaborate with other language teachers who are finding innovative ways to add this to their curriculum. Gracias.

What they liked
  • As a world language teacher, I have found Padlet to be an excellent place to collaborate
  • We make vocabulary lists, blog about different ideas, drop in original work - there are so many possibilities
  • I especially LOVE the new recording feature
  • My advanced Spanish students just wrote original "Elemental Odes" (in the style of Pablo Neruda)
  • They were able to post a picture with their original written work and the recite their poem on the same Padlet
  • We later read and listened to all of their work together
  • Amazing
  • I am trying to convince our entire department to use it
Room for improvement
  • No complaints yet - it is so versatile
  • I feel like I have not even scratched the surface of creative ways to use it
  • Is there a way to collaborate with other teachers

They were discontinued. Please do not go away!

Padlet for Creative Arts Educators

Excellent, really. I do enjoy the updates that come through. They are often very useful and I have learned a lot of tricks and tips to add to my educators tool belt.

What they liked
  • Padlet is a visually engaging, collaborative, organised and agile way of creating, storing and presenting resources
  • It is wonderful for presenting in an educational setting because students are able to access large amounts of information, attractively presented, in one place
Room for improvement

We have invested time as a department setting up resources over the years on padlet, it worries us that one day the company could fold or end, then where would our resources go

Why they chose it

"the visually enticing nature of the content when designed for students"

One stop Shopping!

I love Padlet - it is always in my Top 5 Tech Tools that I take about at any presentation I do. Easy, so many options and I love the new recipes, this is very helpful for all users, new and old alike!!

What they liked
  • I love that it is so user-friendly, it makes it an easy tool to introduce to students and staff that are tech hesitant
  • We have students who are making their own Padlets to share with friends - favorite quotes, movies, etc
Room for improvement
  • I wish it was a free program, but that is not realistic -
Switched From

Padlet is easier to use with the visual and other options! Students are outstanding about only working in their own space when I use the Shelf system.

Padlet's Potential is Powerful

I love it and am still exploring in my mind the possibilites it is capable of for my classes.

What they liked
  • I initially use padlet for posting youtube music videos, but with my latest class I have asked them to also post introduction videos
  • When I initially tested out Padlet I saw that I could post music, word documents, presentations, gif files, and videos, so I knew in time I might expand upon my uses for it with my classes
Room for improvement

I want more selection of art or photos for screens, so it was more on the design choices

Switched From

Flipgrid or Flip was an app I used for student videos on assigned readings and introductions. Things like that. However they are changing platforms and pon JULY 1 everything is locked and archived, viewable only and will be deleted by OCT of this year. Which is okay. I actually went on to delete the prior Flip rooms I made but could not delete them and that is how I learned about their changes. They are switching to a new app, something called like Teams and Education.

Best Collaborative Site

So easy. I use it weekly. Love the templates. I use it for class warm ups, discussions, and knowledge checks.

What they liked
  • Padlet is SO easy to use
  • In a few minutes, you can create something great for the classroom
  • There are so many new templates
  • I love that you can share it to the class without students having to log in
  • It is intuitive to use unlike many whiteboard sites
  • It also just has a "fun" feel to it
  • Love it
Room for improvement

I wish there was a way to wipe all the answers in one click to use in another class

Why they chose it

"I like canva for making graphic organizers but it's whiteboard is AWFUL"
