Padlet is an Android application from a digital platform that facilitates visual collaboration, creativity, and communication. This tool is intended for educators, students, professionals, and anyone looking to share ideas.
Boards
At first, Padlet serves as a digital canvas where users can create boards to collect, organize, and share thoughts. These can include text, images, videos, documents, links, and more. It is possible to apply them to various types of projects and discussions.
Multiple users may collaborate on a single board. This option is helpful for group projects, brainstorming sessions, and classroom activities. It is possible to add posts, comment on others’ publications, and interact with the content in real time.
In addition, you can customize your boards with different layouts, backgrounds, and themes. There is an opportunity to choose from formats like:
- wall – a freeform layout where content is arranged like bricks;
- stream – a chronological feed of posts;
- grid – a structured grid of content blocks;
- shelf – organizes content into columns;
- map – pins content to specific locations;
- canvas – allows you to freely connect and arrange content in a non-linear fashion;
- timeline – presents posts in chronological order.
Integration
