Wallwisher Update

I am sure many of you have used Wallwisher in the past, but it was recently brought to my attention that it is now called Padlet.  I am pleased with changes; the layout and user friendly interface make it a great web tool.  You can still add files from your computer, images from your device's camera and URLs.

The creators have recently announced the launch of Streams as a layout option.  This layout gives you the option to have structure to your layouts instead of the posts being in freeform.  This layout arranges the posts one below the other in chronological order, which will allow for even more creative ways to use this tool.  Students could work on a story or other text collaboratively, you could begin a story and have your students work on it by adding their own parts during literacy stations or from home, post a discussion topic and have students add their thoughts/opinions, use it as a message board having students post questions or comments about the content...be as creative as you want.

Here are some other ideas listed on Padlet's website.  Visit the site to see examples!

I am sharing a job aide that may help new users start a Padlet.
