A teacher can set up a board for brainstorming, collecting resources, showcasing student work, or running a class discussion, and students add posts from any device. The layout can be a wall, a grid, a timeline, or a map, depending on the activity.

How it works

Beyond classrooms, Padlet is used for team collaboration, project planning, and portfolios. It includes templates for common activities, privacy controls for who can see and post, and a commenting and reaction system so students can respond to each other's work. Boards can be embedded in a website or an LMS.

The free plan allows three padlets, which is enough to test it properly. Paid plans remove the board limit and add more storage, admin controls, and school-wide features, but prices are not published on the site. It is best for visual, open-ended class activities rather than structured testing.
