Padlet

Brief Description

Padlet is an online collaborative platform that allows users to create virtual boards where they can post and organize content such as text, images, links, videos, documents, and more. It functions like a digital bulletin board. Users can work individually or together in real time, making it a popular tool for brainstorming, collecting feedback, sharing resources, and interactive learning activities. Padlet boards can be customized in layout and style, and shared via link or QR code.
