PadLet (WallWisher) -- Gotta Try It!

If you haven't used Padlet http://padlet.com/  you need to check it out! There are so many uses for it in the classroom or even in your personal life.  Wall Wisher is an online board....like a cork board.  The wall is given a unique address that you can link to your website.  You can control the permissions as public, private, those with the link, etc.  On the wall you can add text (160 character limit), links, videos and documents.  If your wall is public then anyone can add information to it. 

Thank you to my sister who showed me a great new way to use Wall Wisher.  Her school used the board as a "flipped" faculty meeting.  Principals added videos sharing the information they would normally share in a meeting.  They uploaded documents and other text.  The board was open to public so the teachers could add any questions or other information they have.

I have used a wall in class for students to post questions or comments as we do a unit.  I have also created a wall for training workshops. 

Let's share our ideas.  There are 3 ways you can do this:
