Padlet

Padlet
Padlet is a blank canvas to create beautiful projects that are easy to share and collaborate on.

It works like a piece of paper. We give you an empty page and you can put whatever you want on it. Drag in a video, record an interview, add some images and document files, write your own text posts, and voilà! A wall is born. Make it even more beautiful by choosing custom wallpapers and themes.

Padlet is different from other blogging tools and whiteboards because it’s flexible. Create a grocery list, a Venn diagram, a discussion board, a group greeting card, a portfolio, or a business plan, all in one app. Used by teachers, students, professionals, and individuals of all ages, all around the world, Padlet walls can be selectively shared and edited among multiple contributors.

30Hands

30hands Storyteller is the easiest way to tell a story, explain a concept or flip a classroom. Create a multimedia presentation in minutes and publish it as a video to share.

Mapping these activities to a longer project helps students make PBL projects authentic and fun.
