It’s a simple and useful tool for organising ideas and collaborating with others. I found it helpful for sharing information and keeping everything in one place. It’s especially good for quick tasks and group work. Pros Padlet is very easy to use and doesn’t take long to understand. I like how you can quickly post notes, images, or links in one place. It’s great for sharing ideas with others and keeping everything organised. Cons The free version is a bit limited, especially with how many boards you can create. Sometimes it can also feel slightly cluttered if too many people are posting at the same time Review Source MD Mandy D. Professional Learning Provider E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Supporting professional learning with Padlet" November 6, 2024 5.0 In my role as a professional learning facilitator (in schools), I use Padlet for all of my workshops. It is a great tool for me to share resources, supporting video tutorials and exemplars of student work. It also provides the space for workshop participants to easily share their creations and seek feedback. Love this tool! Pros I love how easy it is to use! A fantastic collaborative tool for gathering and sharing digital content. It is also very visually appealing, with such an intuitive interface. Cons Can't really think of anything I don't like. Sorry! Alternatives considered [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/) Reason for choosing Padlet Better interface - much more user friendly Switched from [Google Sites](https://www.capterra.com/p/246647/Google-Sites/) Padlet much easier to use and more attractive Review Source dE deborah E. teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for sorting and collecting documents" March 23, 2021 3.0 Used via work for reading articles and blogs on a weekly basis Pros places documents/videos etc in one place, easy to navigate and visually appealing Cons I dont use it enough to be able to comment Review Source Response from Wallwisher May 11, 2023 Hi Deborah!

It provided a way for our educational team to see everyone's input visually. We could add to the boards and update as needed. It became a great reference type document for us. Pros It was an excellent tool for group collaboration in an educational setting. It allowed multiple participants to add in their own creative thoughts and viewpoints in real time. Everyone could see as the ideas developed. There was a real sense of individual input and seeing the 'big picture' at the same time. Using Padlet has overall been a good value for money. It's features are helpful, and it is user friendly. Cons When we used boards with multiple participants, sometimes the collaborative input became a little unorganized and hard to read as a whole. It would be nice if we could establish some more sequence at times. Review Source JR Janice R.

I am excited to explore ways to use it in less advanced classes and I am hoping to collaborate with other language teachers who are finding innovative ways to add this to their curriculum. Gracias. Pros As a world language teacher, I have found Padlet to be an excellent place to collaborate. We make vocabulary lists, blog about different ideas, drop in original work - there are so many possibilities. I especially LOVE the new recording feature. My advanced Spanish students just wrote original "Elemental Odes" (in the style of Pablo Neruda). They were able to post a picture with their original written work and the recite their poem on the same Padlet! We later read and listened to all of their work together. Amazing! I am trying to convince our entire department to use it! Cons No complaints yet - it is so versatile. I feel like I have not even scratched the surface of creative ways to use it! Is there a way to collaborate with other teachers? Switched from [Ed.VoiceThread](https://www.capterra.com/p/207191/VoiceThread-K-12/) They were discontinued. Please do not go away! Review Source EB Erika B. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Collaborative Site" November 21, 2024 5.0 So easy. I use it weekly. Love the templates. I use it for class warm ups, discussions, and knowledge checks. Pros Padlet is SO easy to use. In a few minutes, you can create something great for the classroom. There are so many new templates. I love that you can share it to the class without students having to log in. It is intuitive to use unlike many whiteboard sites. It also just has a "fun" feel to it. Love it! Cons I wish there was a way to wipe all the answers in one click to use in another class. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Reason for choosing Padlet I like canva for making graphic organizers but it's whiteboard is AWFUL Review Source MG Melani G.

" November 2, 2024 4.0 Very positive, but wish there were better support for faculty! Pros How easy it is for students to use (i.e., post videos by link or file) Cons 1) I'm not able to integrate it with Canvas Gradebook. My Ed Tech person says that we can use "grade passback" yet it isn't showing up as an option on my end. 2) I asked for help from Padlet people (in support), and no one has gotten back to me. 3) I would also like to have a bit more options as to what posts look like (size, shape, layout). Review Source CD Charles D. Student Support Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quick - Efficient - Helpful" November 13, 2024 5.0 Near-flawless, honestly. I've used it so many times in remarkably varied ways that I know it will continue as a favored tool. Pros Its versatility; I can create a project that suits my needs for in the classroom, or for professional development, or even for personal use quickly and efficiently. Its AI generation has been a boon for me as well. Cons I wish its flow chart template was a bit more customizable regarding font size, bubble size, etc. Review Source FV Flor V.

Instead of using google drive, i do use padlet to organise my department files. Pros Organised files and easy to access. Friendly user. Cons Number of free padlets. I hope the free padlets will be more than three Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) Padlet is more easy to access when sharing files. Review Source BK Beth K.

So easy to use, and as a professional trainer, user friendly on the other side of a virtual call as well! Pros I have been mourning the loss of Jamboard since I first received notice that it was going away and searching for a replacement since. Sanbox is THE PERFECT replacement!!! Easy to use and share with some cool new features as well! I work as a professional trainer. Sandbox is A LIFESAVER to ensure I can get participants engaged and sharing thoughts and ideas easily and instantly. Cons It would be nice if there were more solid background color choices. Switched from [FigJam](https://www.capterra.com/p/265222/FigJam/)[Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/) Loved Jamboard but it is going away. I tried FIgJam and Miro first as these were recommended by Google. They were not user-friendly enough. Tried some others and had the same issue, especially when it came to sharing and then easy interactions from participants. Review Source Response from Wallwisher September 25, 2024 Thanks for the awesome review, Beth! We're so glad to hear that Sandbox has become your go-to Jamboard replacement. It’s great to know that it’s making your virtual training sessions more interactive and engaging. I’ll pass along your suggestion about more background color options to our team.

Easy, so many options and I love the new recipes, this is very helpful for all users, new and old alike!! Pros I love that it is so user-friendly, it makes it an easy tool to introduce to students and staff that are tech hesitant. We have students who are making their own Padlets to share with friends - favorite quotes, movies, etc. Cons I wish it was a free program, but that is not realistic - Switched from [Google Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/178686/Google-Slides/) Padlet is easier to use with the visual and other options!
