Padlet (Wallwisher)




The extremely useful tool that I am going to talk about today is called Padlet and it is, as they simply explain, "paper for the web". This site allows you to create a bulletin board on your computer. This site is very user friendly allowing you to drag and drop virtually anything you want to your board and move it around as necessary.

This tool would be very useful to someone who works in an office setting because it reduces clutter and it is always available on the website no saving necessary. Even for those who work on the go or for students because the bulletin board can be viewed from a smart phone, tablet, or laptop computer. Another great feature that would be helpful for all individuals mentioned above is that it is the wall can be kept completely private or used among friends or co-workers, giving many people access to one wall from different devices. 

This tool really allows the user to keep it as simple or as creative and complex as they want making it a useful tool for everyone!

  1. My first thought was that I could replace the pictures on the refrigerator by using padlet. Is that weird? Also is there stickie note functionality to it so I can make a note and stick it to the board or padlet?
