Introducing new Padlet features
The second Academy session on Padlet focuses on key new features that will help you get organized, collaborate more easily, and improve your Padlet experience. The first category covers how to get organized better, including the ability to group posts into sections for better structure and organization. The second feature is the ability for users to pin posts, pinning them to the top of a section, and the third feature is improved search and sorting options, allowing users to search within Padlet and sort posts by color, providing a more efficient organizing system.
Using the Padlet feature in your project planning
Padlet offers useful features such as post scheduling, sorting options, and drafting for project planning and organization. Post scheduling allows users to plan ahead and automate content posting, making it convenient for teachers, teams, and individual projects. Sorting options such as by reaction, alphabetical, etc. provide flexibility in organizing content according to specific preferences. In addition, the ability to create and easily manage drafts allows for more careful and controlled content creation and posting.
Collaborative Paddle Activities for Classroom Engagement
Padlet offers three interactive activities: making birthday wishes with an avatar, participating in weekly polls, and using a suggestion box for feedback. The birthday wish writing activity allows users to create a personalized avatar and post a birthday message, while the weekly poll allows users to vote on various questions and see the results. The suggestion box feature introduces a submission request link to collect feedback or submit anonymously, and a custom post field for specific information.
Customize Padlet features to increase engagement
You can now create polls within your padlet and have them vote during your presentation. The breakout link feature lets you grant access to specific sections of your padlet. Customizing post fields lets you add different text or image fields and customize the attachments available.
The Power of Padlet: Templates, Slideshows, and School Exclusive Content
Padlet now offers access to over 100 templates for a variety of purposes, allowing users to personalize their boards and get inspired by ready-made examples. Users can also easily create slideshow presentations with a click of a button, with options to include PDFs, videos, and links, as well as the ability to share and customize presentations. The platform also introduces a ‘safety net’ feature as part of its school account, providing moderation tools for users.
New features and updates in Padlet
Padlet is introducing new AI features that automatically flag inappropriate content posted by students, making it a safer and more collaborative environment. It also launched a subscription plan for small schools that offers 100 student accounts for the price of a Platinum individual subscription. Padlet also released Magic Padlet, a tool that allows teachers to quickly create padlets based on specific prompts, such as text, images, and activities, and is restricted to teachers only. It is also developing the ability to copy multiple posts at once and remove collaborators, with plans to introduce this feature in 2024.
Tips for using Padlet effectively
The 'All' folder is displayed in the order in which they were last accessed, so you can use the bookmark folder to effectively organize your padlets. Schedule posts to gradually reveal parts of your padlet to students, and consider offering different membership levels for different collaboration needs. There is a small bug with the PDF export, but support can help you with export options if needed.
