"Fun and Creative"

October 2, 2024

Excellent! Getting started with creating a new padlet is easy to do. Most students seem to find the process of contributing relatively easy and intuitive too.
Pros:
Fun, interactive tool to use with students. Allows students to share their thoughts on a topic in a colourful and creative way. Love the AI integration to add images to posts.
Cons:
I've wanted to add more than one image or link to a post before and am unable to do so.

"Good for classroom collaboration"

May 8, 2024
5.0 Show more details
Pros:
Fairly easy to use, only you need to make an account and post a link so students don't need to make an account.
Cons:
It feels a bit less intuitive/cluttered than other programs like Microsoft's Jamboard, and I guess I prefer programs that integrate a bit better with software I'm already using

"Quick - Efficient - Helpful"

November 13, 2024

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.
