This is the reincarnation of Wallwisher -- more colorful and vibrant, and still being adapted to new uses. Most recently I've seen Padlet (like Post-its for the Web) used as a way to collect interesting learning tools by crowd-sourcing.

R. Stannard teacher training video on Padlet (formerly WallWisher), which is useful for collaboration and group work, as well as mobile work from home.

"When you first look at Webjets, you might think, "Oh, it's like Padlet." And in some ways, you'd be right: In Webjets, users create boards where they gather items on cards, placing these on a desktop that feels like a bulletin board. "But with Webjets, these cards work even harder than they do on Padlet, and they come in a variety of formats: A card can contain an image, an embedded video, a live Google Doc, an attached file, or a table containing a variety of elements organized into columns. Probably the best feature is that cards can be collected into folders, where the items are listed along the left, and the selected item appears in a larger window on the right. You can keep multiple folders on one board, and all cards can be collapsed or expanded, making it easy to neatly collect large amounts of resources all in one place. "Webjets would be an excellent, flexible tool for any kind of group project or curation task, whether it's done by you or your students." T/h J. Gonzalez

Help crowd source this WallWisher/Padlet with information about iPads for education. Read and join in.

"Our research showed that lots of great tools being are used across the world in school libraries. Instead of reinventing the wheel, we decided to take some of those ideas and focus on the tools that we thought could have the biggest impact. Take a look at Facebook groups such as The School Librarian's Workshop, Future Ready Librarian and Int'l School Library Connection. All are closed groups, but can be joined on request and are full of school library staff willing to share advice and support. There is also a lot of information shared on Twitter, so if you have not headed there yet it is time to go and do some lurking. "We chose to focus on four online tools: Google Hangouts/Skype, Padlet, Flipgrid and BreakoutEdu. Although we are still using the physical Breakout boxes, we have the opportunity to move to the digital version if we need to."

A kind of Instagram/blog board that lets you use photos, video, and voice recordings, sharing with others.

R. Stannard has created a tutorial for wallwisher.com, now called "Padlet" This tool is nice for creating a visually oriented board of notes where students can tell others what they are doing, for example, on a project; or to keep interesting photos and weblinks.

The descriptions of the tool uses are of great interest. This is a thoughtful blog article. Tools mentioned are Visme, Padlet, Recap, Voxer, Picktochart, Nearpod (virtual field trips), Formative (assessment), Quizizz, Buncee (projects), Blendspace to share Websites and create lessons, Storyboard, BloomzApp for messaging and planning as well as translation. Much to explore here.

I usually don't like lists, but this one also has suggestions for using the apps with students. Info on the Wallwisher update, Padlet; infographics made easy; Thinglink for graphics; Aurasma for creating QR codes with objects, rthaer than a square, and so on.

R. Byrne talks about several popular tools that might be of interest, including Padlet, Storyboard That, Thinglink, and ClassDojo. Each of these is worth exploring if you haven't seen them before.

The ways include Google Drive, Padlet, Dropbox/DropItToMe, AirDrop (for iPads), and Next Vista Learning. These would be good ways to get around the YouTube restrictions in some countries. T/H R. Byrne

Some of these may be gone tomorrow, but they are of interest: Padlet for posting introductions, Xtranormal (animated shorts), PollDaddy, Google Forms (for gathering info), Fotobabble (to record explanatory messages to go with scanned docs or images), Remind101 (to send messages to partents or to a group), Screenr for explanatory screencasts, Audioboo to record message to share on a website, and Smore to create colorful flyers. D. Borgeson uses these with his third grade (9 yrs old) class.
