Integrating technology in the elementary classroom has become expected, but it certainly doesn’t have to be difficult. In my 4th grade science classes we recently used the technology tool “Padlet” to create posters about an assigned Earth material. This is my example Padlet that I created to introduce my students to the tool.

Padlet Poster Example

Padlet allows anyone to create a “Wall” without creating an account. This can be really helpful in the classroom, as long as you have enough time to make sure everyone can finish their poster. Simply go to the site and click “Create” to get started. Follow these picture directions to work your way through all of the modification options.

If you create an account and create a wall for each student, you will have the benefit of having a “Dashboard” where you will always have each wall for future review/modifications. If you do not plan on printing the final posters, then I recommend having the walls saved to your account.

Posting is very user-friendly, and your students should be able to use this tool independently. I hope you enjoy using Padlet with your students.

      This app is exactly what I need for an easy start to using our brand-new iPads! Poster presentations are my next major product, so now I'll transition to using padlet instead. Thanks!

      My trainee teacher and I have made use of Padlet a few times this year – often as a way of gathering pupils' prior knowledge about a topic or maybe to share what they have learned after reading an article or when finishing a unit. I totally recommend it – the kids love to see all the ideas building up and they have also tried adding their video comments. I suggest setting the board to scroll the ideas (to stop arguments about post-it notes being put on top of other people's notes or new ones changing the shape of others' notes).
