What is Padlet?
Padlet is an online discussion tool that can be used in classrooms to facilitate conversation.
Padlet functions as a sticky note sounding board where students are able to express ideas on notepads and pin them to a discussion board.
Padlet is easy to use: simply head to padlet.com, create an account, and begin creating discussion boards.
Padlet allows you to change the backgrounds on boards, update the number of editors, and allows students to post content such as photos, videos, and links onto their sticky notes.

Padlet Connects to Component 3C
Component 3C encourages educators to engage students in learning. Padlet allows interaction and engagement from all students and allows higher order questions to be posed in a discussion forum.
Reflection
How does this experience relate to ISTE NETS? Padlet relates to ISTE NET standards in that educators are called to have knowledge of technologies that can be used in a classroom to promote higher learning. Padlet allows educators to use technologies to ask higher order thinking questions.
How can you use this tool in your future classroom? My classroom will use padlet during lessons to check for understanding and facilitate conversation and discussion points throughout literature circles.
What would you do differently? When creating the padlet I would like to explore different ways of displaying instructions on padlet, other than under the description portion of the padlet.
