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 RH Reagan H. Optician Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect Padlet" May 6, 2026 5.0 Overall, Padlet is an amazing tool to use whether it is in the workplace or for school. You can do so many different things on it and it allows you to be creative and have fun with what you are doing or working on, it is truly great! Pros I like that you can make any boards you want and people can say anything on them. Padlet has great customer support if you were to have any issues and they handle everything quickly. You get a great value for your money with Padlet and they have awesome security! Video calls and conferencing are spectacular and it is super easy to manage your employees! Such a great tool to use! Cons The only thing that I could say that I dislike about Padlet is that the video calls and video conferences are not always the best quality so sometimes it can be difficult to see one another, but that does not impact the quality of the sound, so it is still great! Alternatives considered [Nearpod](https://www.capterra.com/p/122875/Nearpod/) Reason for choosing Padlet I chose Padlet over Nearpod because even though you can make board sections for people to comment on and collaborate on, you are able to do video calls and conferences on Padlet, which is not available on Nearpod. Padlet makes things easier when it comes to project planning, meetings, and management. You can still use Nearpod for other things, though.

Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using Padlet in Education " May 14, 2026 5.0 Padlet is easy to use as a beginner so it’s perfect for students. Students actually participate more as they are able to engage and interact with one another. It’s great for strengthening collaboration but has its limitations. Pros As a teacher, what I tend to like most about Padlet is how simple, flexible, and interactive it makes student engagement. Cons Even though Padlet is great for engagement, teachers often notice a few frustrations with the clutter of the board, less structure than other tools, requires reliable internet access, and limited feedback and grading tools.

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!

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.

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.

Professor Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Beautiful Tool! I Need Customer Service to Get Back to me, though. " 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).

I do enjoy the updates that come through. They are often very useful and I have learned a lot of tricks and tips to add to my educators tool belt.
