TMT: Padlet and Smore

Padlet is a virtual wall platform that has so many uses within the classroom as it allows teachers & students to express their thoughts on a common topic easily. It works like an online sheet of paper where anyone with the link can put any content (e.g. images, videos, documents, text) anywhere on the page, from any device. Students do not need to have an account to be able to add to a Padlet.

There are so many different way that Padlet can be used, both by you as the teacher, and also by students. Here are a few ideas to get you started
