For example at the start of a module a Padlet could be created for students and staff to introduce themselves through video, text, audio or other media. Padlet can also be used as a social space for your modules allowing students to connect with each other. You can learn more about how others at Sussex use Padlet for group work in DIY Digital: Doing Punk Online (Lucy Robinson and Chris Warne, History) and Learning from each other’s reading with group Padlet walls (Evan Hazenberg, English). Padlet can also work for more short term group work, for example if you are holding a group teaching session on Zoom and you’ve broken students up into breakout rooms then you could ask for each group to post their group’s thoughts or notes onto Padlet, this way you capture all your students thoughts and allow them to be easily shared with other groups. This can then also serve as a space for them to exhibit their finished group project to tutors or other students. They can post messages, share resources and collaborative documents. Group workĭo you have students working on group projects together? Then why not get them set up with their own Padlet wall (students can have their own Padlet back accounts created by TEL on request from tutors) as an area to work collaboratively. Here is an example of a Padlet used as an area to collate resources. The added benefit is that students can also post any useful resources they come across to share them with the whole class. If you’ve got a resource you want to share with your students chances are you can post it to a Padlet wall. You can post a wide range of multimedia to Padlet, this can make it a great area to post resources and materials from videos to images to documents to audio files. Padlet’s ability to showcase a range of posts at once on a wall also then enables students to easily see previously answered questions. You could post a video or voice recording of yourself answering the question which will allow students to feel more connected and establish more of a personal connection with you. You aren’t limited to just using text to reply to student questions on Padlet. This can be a good alternative to using Canvas Discussions as students can post questions anonymously on Padlet which may encourage them to post more often.
Share the Padlet with students and let them know it’s an area for them to post ideas and questions.
One use for a Padlet is to use it as a backchannel for a module. Padlet is a great tool that allows for a number of synchronous and asynchronous online teaching opportunities, here are 4 fantastic uses for Padlet as part of online teaching and learning:
