​Using padlet to set up collaboration spaces built with learners

So I'm back in Padlet - I know it pops up a lot but it is such an effective tool for collaboration!  This time I started with an inquiry question and rather than dictating to the Visual Communication Design students what I wanted them to know, I allowed them to build with me a bank of video, image and written resources around the inquiry question. Not only were they able to showcase their understanding they were empowered to explore ideas and topics relevant to them and to think about what their peers found also. ​

Positive

• No sign in needed
• Can only edit own posts
• FREE!
• Post all types of links and resources ​

Minus

• Students can not respond to each others posts in Padlet 
• Relies on clear modelling of how to use 

Interesting

• Students can download and save for their own folio research 
• Can set up to be password protected or login linked
