Padlet: Collaboration and Consolidation
Session Outcomes:
• To know what Padlet is.
• To understand how Padlet can be used to enhance motivation and engagement in and out of lessons.
• To be able to understand how you can apply Paldlet to your teaching.
• To provide you with a toolkit so that you CAN use padlet in your teaching.
What is Padlet? Padlet is an online bulletin board. It is not an app but a website (don’t worry it has
great privacy controls).
It can be used in lots of different ways inside the
It’s your turn…You will have time at the end of the day during strands to create resources using any of the ideas
you have seen today.
As a group we will now create a resource board by completing some research about the most topical news stories from the last month.
Whilst completing the activity think about:• When could this be done?• How could the students benefit?• How could the information collected be used? • How could this work as part of a scheme of learning?
Using Padlet in this way is a good way to summarise and check understanding of the lesson or key concepts.
Useful as a plenary or mini plenary to get students to upload their ideas and create a summary board for every topic. These could be collated and used for revision booklets at the end of each unit.
Challenge tasks should now be planned for in your lessons as the norm. Why not create a padlet for each class that you teach as a virtual challenge wall?
It will give students motivation to complete the tasks, and it will be clearly visible to you who is completing the tasks. This way you can easily add achievement points and catch out students who SHOULD be completing these tasks who aren’t!
For each class have a challenge wall space on padlet. You could have a QR code for each class
that you teach so that it is easily accessible for students to access.
Have these on your PPTS or on your challenge walls in your
Create a padlet page. Give students a topic or key
concept for homework. Get students to use the padlet
board for researching, collecting and curating content
for your lesson.
Create a padlet page with all of the content on. Get students to
answer questions, create a story board, a video clip and
audio clip using all of the information on the padlet
board.
Create a padlet that will act as an online debate as padlet can act as a
‘newsfeed.’ For example set up a question about the new topic to get
ideas and that will encourage students to do some research. This would usually
be a starter activity but with Padlet it can be one prior to the lesson and you
can spend time during the lesson digging deeper into the views.
Create a resource padlet with podcasts, videos for students to
understand the new concept. Get students to write a
summary of the podcasts, videos on the same page.
Researching tasks

Padlet is not always the best way to write extended pieces of writing, however you can use it with your classes to provide a platform for research. Get students to create their own padlets or set one up that they can all add their own ideas, perfect for group work and whole class collaboration.
Student SenateThe student senate could create their own padlet. They can send share the link and this could be a great way of sharing ideas and thoughts about how we can improve the school and giving a voice to our students.
DifferentiationIf you have a large mixed ability group, it could be a concern that the low ability students could copy ideas. To combat this you could create three separate padlets.
For example, high ability, middle ability and low ability.
You can push out the link to the different padlets to certain students (via showbie, email or office 365) and therefore they only have access to certain material.
Celebrating successAt the end of the lesson, perhaps one with a group work focus get students to nominate their peers for achievement points.
Your Padlet could be an achievement wall, have one for each of your classes and link to it to a QR code to get students interested and hooked on the idea!
When students are doing group work create a resource padlet that students can upload useful resources that other
groups and students can use during their projects.
