Padlet can promote higher-level thinking skills such as creating, evaluating, and analyzing. Padlet can serve as an online discussion board where students can contribute their thoughts on a given topic. Students can also view what other students are posting. This gives students the chance to engage in meaningful discussions, and it also gives students the chance to hear from different perspectives.
Type of Learning Experience:
Depending on how Padlet is used it can fall under the verbal symbols, visual symbols, still picture, or motion picture categories of Dale’s Cone of Experience. This is because the content that can be posted/shared on Padlet includes mostly texts, images, or videos. If Padlet is used as a student portfolio, then it has the opportunity to be used as an exhibit learning experience because students can contribute to this growing portfolio and share it with their families or classmates.
Integration Techniques:
As mentioned above, there are multiple ways that Padlet can be integrated into the classroom. One way that Padlet can be integrated into the classroom is through the use of discussion boards. Teachers can give students a topic to discuss and students can add their thoughts and view their peers’ thoughts in real-time. Another way that Padlet can be used is as a student portfolio. Students can use the gallery wall template in Padlet as a way to document and display their work. They can also use it as a way to share their work with others.
