Padlet review by Alex Pritchard



Name of App: Padlet

Cost: Free


Device/s used: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices


What does it do?

Padlet allows you to create artistic canvases that you can share with friends and collaborate with them in groups. The canvases could lead to many creative projects such as Q & A, leaflets, notes for your revision and much more projects for the user.

What was good about this tool?
You can type up texts and spread them across to your friends, similar to twitter and Facebook. Padlet can help you create walls filled with imaginative ideas based on your typing. 

You can spread your revision notes all across Padlet, attaching documents, pictures or videos. So when it is time to revise, you can go up on your Padlet account to review all of the topic information all in one go. 

In addition, you can create mind maps to spread out your ideas, so you won't lose your notes.

What are the limitations of this tool?
When you use the app version of Padlet, you are restrained by the device you're using whereas when you use your computer for Padlet, it's more spread out.

How did you use this tool? 
I used Padlet for making my wall on the topic of my interest to keep my information in a more spaced out environment. So my work could be organised and would not be able to lose it. 

Would you recommend this tool? 
I would definitely recommend Padlet to my fellow students, colleagues and teachers with a 4 out of 5 star rating.
