Padlet is an online noticeboard used mostly by teachers. Padlet has a blank space that allows teachers to create their own board and customize them with texts, images, audio, videos, links, classroom newsletters, educational updates, lesson material, answers to questions, and other educational tools. It is basically a space for teachers and students to share materials and learn in real time.
Padlet also allows teachers to share their board with their students and save them for referential purposes. In this article, I will be detailing how to create a Padlet and share in Google Classroom.
